Chapter 10 Section 5

The 1860 election revealed deep divisions within the Democratic Party, separating Southern Democrats, who aimed to protect slavery and support John C. Breckinridge, from Northern Democrats advocating popular sovereignty under Stephen Douglas. The election also featured the Constitutional Union Party, led by John Bell, and the Republican Party, with candidates like William H. Seward and Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln's victory led to the secession of Southern states starting with South Carolina on December 20, 1860, and eventually sparked the Civil War, marking a crucial moment in American history.
