Based on the given passage, the most accurate prediction would be: The election of a Republican president will be seen by Southern states as an attack on slavery.
The passage states that John Brown, supported by abolitionists and Republicans, attempted to start a slave revolt. It then mentions a resolution from North Carolina that authorizes the sending of troops and money to defend any Southern state in response to such a raid. This suggests that the Southern states saw the raid on Harper's Ferry as linked to abolitionists and Republicans, indicating their view that the election of a Republican president would be viewed as an attack on slavery.
Therefore, the prediction that the election of a Republican president will be seen as an attack on slavery aligns with the information provided in the passage.
