    C

    Explanation:

    The Seven Southern states seceded and formed the Confederate States of America because they were convinced that Lincoln was going to end slavery. They concluded this because during the Lincoln-Douglas debate for the US Senate in 1858, Lincoln declared he thought slavery was wrong. So they didnt take to his idea and left.
