C) Secession from the union
The reaction that seven states in the Deep South had to the election of President Abraham Lincoln in 1860 was C) Secession from the union. Following Lincoln's election as a Republican candidate, which was perceived as a threat to the institution of slavery, seven Southern states, starting with South Carolina, seceded from the Union in the months following the election. These states formed the Confederate States of America in response to their fears about the future of slavery and states' rights within the United States.
