In the presidential election(選舉) of 1860 Lincoln won. people from eighteen free states helped make him president of the United States.

But all Americans did not want Lincoln to be their leader. Many white people in Southern States believed Lincoln would take away their power in government and their slaves, too.

Slavery was not the only problem troubling Americans from 1800 to e Southerners believed that Northern law-makers passed unfair tax(税收) laws.

The laws white Southerners believed were most unfair put a tax on factory goods shipped from other countries to the United States. Southerners believed that such laws hurt them more than any other Americans. They believed this because in the South, there were few factories. People needed to buy factory-made goods that were shipped either from foreign countries or from the North. If Southerners bought foreign goods, they had to pay an extra amount caused by the tax. If they bought goods made in Northern factories, they helped make the North a richer, more powerful region than the south.

Whatever the reasons were, white Southerners were ready to fight. They prepared themselves to fight to keep what they believed they owned and against tax laws they believed were unfair.
