The Election of 1860 was the 19th presidential election of the United States. The start of the election was November 6th 1860 and it was a really big deal. The election was between the Southern Democratic party, Northern Democratic party and the Republican party. During the election Oregon and Minnesota officially became states during the year of 1860 and participated in the election for the first time. The Northern Democratic party consisted of Stephen Douglas who was a senator from Illinois, Benjamin Fitzpatrick who was a senator from Alabama but he denied the nomination so Hershel Gates, who was a governor from Georgia, took his place.  

The Southern Democratic party consisted of John C. Breckinridge who was the vice president of the United States. Also for the Southern Democratic party was Joseph Lane who was a senator for Oregon. It is to Also be noted that the Southern Democratic party made up of Southerners nominated their own candidates.There was also the current president of the United States who was a Democrat as well, but he was not put up for re-election which just goes to show how much the citizens liked him.Then there is the Repulican party nominees which had William Seward, a senator from New York, Salmon P. Chase a governor and senator from Ohio. Next, there is Edward Bates who was a representative from Missouri. Finally, there is Abraham Lincoln who was a representative from Illinois. Before the election for president Lincoln and Dounglas had competed for a smaller office before, but Douglas won so this was Lincoln’s way of revenge.
