November 6, 1860 - Electing Lincoln
Friday November 6, 2009
On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected in what was a truly significant election. The choice of Lincoln to be the 16th president was so divisive that before Lincoln was even inaugurated on March 4, 1861, seven states seceded from the union. After Fort Sumter, four more states seceded bringing the total up to 11.
