That happened because they elected Lincoln to be President of the Federal Corporation THE UNITED STATES and not of the Republic The united States of America. When this happened is was an usurpation and the southern states left Congress and the session was adjourned sine die (without day) meaning a day to reconvene was never set. At this point Lincoln seated southern representatives who agreed with him and illegally kept the Congress and the country together, then forced it with a mercenary Army against the south.
The war of Northern Aggression could not be more accurate.
