the new Republican Party and he reached a

national audience in the 1858 debates against

Stephen Douglas . Lincoln ran for President in

1860, sweeping the North in victory. Pro-slavery

from the union . To secure its independence, the

new Confederate States of America fired on Fort

Sumter , a U.S. fort in the South, and Lincoln

called up forces to suppress the rebellion and

restore the Union.
