The correct response that traces three events leading to Southern secession in order from first to last is:

**Missouri Compromise, Kansas-Nebraska Act, The presidential election of Abraham Lincoln**

1. **Missouri Compromise (1820)** - This was an early attempt to manage the balance between slave states and free states in the Union.
2. **Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854)** - This act created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska and allowed the settlers in those territories to determine if they would allow slavery, effectively repealing the Missouri Compromise.
3. **The presidential election of Abraham Lincoln (1860)** - Lincoln's election increased tensions over slavery and led many Southern states to secede from the Union.
