Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • Unable to unite behind a single candidate, the Democrats chose two candidates. Stephen A. Douglas represented northern Democrats. John C. Breckinridge represented southern Democrats.


  • John Bell was nominated by the Constitutional Union party to champion the strategy of compromise on slavery.


  • The Republicans nominated Abraham Lincoln.


  • Lincoln was elected with only 40 percent of the popular vote and without winning a single southern state.


  • The election showed that the party system had collapsed and that regional divisions defined the country.
