<span>Many in the South wrongly believed that Abraham Lincoln was...what? A Republican? No, he actually belonged to that party (A is wrong). From the South? No, he was from Illinois and people knew it (B is wrong). Going to invade the South? That's a little crazy...(D is wrong).
But most in the South believed that Abraham Lincoln was going to abolish slavery. This would threaten their economy and change their way of life! But in order to keep the peace, though Lincoln was not in favor of slavery, he was willing to let it be. C is correct.
