What was the final straw for the southern states that ultimately led to sec?

The final straw for the Southern states that led to secession was the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, who was seen as a threat to the institution of slavery. His platform opposed the expansion of slavery into new territories, which alarmed Southern leaders who believed their economic and social systems depended on it. This fear, coupled with the belief that their rights were being infringed upon by the federal government, prompted several Southern states to secede from the Union, beginning with South Carolina in December 1860.
