The above back and forth isn’t totally correct. There were no new laws about slavery.

The anti-slavery party won the presidency for the first time ever, and the south preemptively rebelled before he could even take office.

The “let’s compromise with evil for peace” attitude of the time likely would have allowed slavery to continue, just prevent future states from allowing slavery.

The slave states overreacted and got burned for it. Literally.
