The election of Lincoln in November 1860, and his refusal to allow any extension of slavery.
He's taking a break from rail splitting to read a book. A balance between physical labor and mental development.
The idea of the Emancipation Proclamation was born as a measure to break the resistance of the Confederacy. It therefore touched slightly the limits of costitutionality, giving the impression of Lincoln's autocracy. But the reactions the Proclamation triggered among the public opinion in Europe and those of the common people in the United States were all in favour of an alleged Lincoln's democratic tendency.
Because the Southern States were going to break away in order to retain slavery and the North couldn't survive without the economic engone of the South. Hence the war by the North to prevent the South becomming a separate sovereign entity.

On the night of his assassination, President Lincoln and his wife Mary were attending a play, Our American Cousin, at Ford's Theater in Washington DC. His guests were an Army officer, Major Henry Rathbone, and his fiancee, Clara Harris.After John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln, Rathbone tried to stop him, but Booth used a knife to badly cut his arm; Rathbone was however able to trip up Booth, causing him to break his leg as he tried to escape. Rathbone felt guilty for being unable to stop Booth and eventually went insane. In 1883, he murdered his wife, Clara, and unsuccessfully tried to murder his children and then himself. He spent the rest of his life in an insane asylum in Germany (where he was living at the time of Clara's death).
