When Lincoln became president the south thought he would end slavery. Lincoln was planning to get rid of new slaves and not take away the ones that slave owners already had. The South got mad and seceded from the U.S.A. meaning they broke apart from it. They claimed that they freely joined the country so they can freely leave it. The states that seceded created a new country called The Confederate States of America. The Confederates and the U.S.A. fought in the civil war. and the U.S.A. won.

I hope this helps!
