Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of William H. Seward, Vol. 2 of 2
The election of Lincoln caused almost as great an outburst of joy in Charleston and New Orleans as it did in Boston and N ew York. The Republicans had gained the power to prevent the extension of slavery, but they were not more confident of realizing their long cherished aim than the leaders of the cotton states were of founding a new confederacy in the near future.
