Is it true that Abraham Lincoln's 1860 election triggered the Southern secession that led to the American Civil War?

Yes. A history reference states Lincoln's November 1860 election was the final straw prompting seven Southern states to secede, and an NBER paper states his election produced Southern secession and the Civil War. Other sources partially support the link between the election and the secession crisis.
