I could not find the article however these should be the answers.
President Lincoln was a Republican which was an abolitionist party and he had made many speeches condemning slavery. When he was elected president therefore, Southern states believed that he would abolish slavery due to his opposition to it.
The South could not accept this and also believed that Lincoln was not a President of the nation as he didn't win many votes in the South. This prompted South Carolina to declare secession and they were followed by other Southern states.
