The Southern states threatened to secede should Abraham Lincoln be elected president (which he was) because they knew he was pro-Union and supported the abolition of slavery, the very institution the South was built on.

Lincoln was very strongly against slavery, and slavery was a favoured view at that time. People in the South were upset about him winning because they liked slavery. However the North wanted to abolish slavery.
