After the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, the timeline includes the secession of seven southern states, failure of compromise attempts, beginning of the Civil War with the attack on Fort Sumter, Lincoln's leadership actions including the Emancipation Proclamation and Gettysburg Address, his re-election, and finally the Union victory in 1865.

Explanation:

The timeline that correctly organizes the events after Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860 would commence with his election followed by significant events leading to and during the Civil War. After his election, seven Deep South states seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America (CSA), last-ditch efforts at compromise failed, and the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter marked the beginning of the Civil War. Throughout Lincoln's presidency, he took decisive actions such as issuing the Emancipation Proclamation and delivering the Gettysburg Address, until his re-election in 1864 and ultimately the Union victory in April 1865.
