Question

What did south Carolina do after Lincoln won The election of 1816 And why

Answer 1

*1860. They seceded from the Union, becoming the first of many states to do so. To many, like John C. Calhoun, this was the absolute last straw, as there were already talks of seccesion as early as 1829 with the Tariffs of Abomination. They felt as if they were not represented in Washington and wanted more control or states rights.
