How someone qualifies to get on the ballot is according to rules of individual states, even to this day.
You can't arbitrarily exclude someone, though.
I'll bet candidates not from the two main parties might disagree with that statement.

If I remember correctly you are talking the 1860's here. When United States was divided. The south wanted to be on there own. The south had there own person they wanted to be there president, at the moment I do not remember who it was. Though the name will come to mind after I leave here and I will say du....
Anyhoo going on memory here, I am sure someone will come by and give you much more details....

Why do you think the southern states seceded. Which, by the way, they had a legal right to do.
