Mhm, It's for sure C. A doesn't make any sense Abe didn't immediately put an end to slavery it took time. Americans did believe he was nominated fairly, and Americans thought America needed Reconstruction they were tired of the war. South Carolina, left right after he got elected. :P So I would have to agree with Gold Phoenix! :)
