Question

Why was South Carolina wanting a republican to win the election of 1860?

Answer 1

The 1860 United States presidential election in South Carolina took place on November 6, 1860, as part of the 1860 United States presidential election. The state legislature chose 8 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. By 1860 only one state, South Carolina, used this procedure in a presidential election. This would be, as of 2020, the final time a state exercised its option to restrict its presidential franchise to state legislators.

Answer: In 1832, led by Calhoun, South Carolina approved an Ordinance of Nullification, which was intended to serve notice on the United States government that South Carolina would not tolerate a high tariff. ... South Carolina's secession was the first in a series to occur before Abraham Lincoln's inauguration in March 1861. The Republican Party was relatively new; 1860 was only the second time the party had a candidate in the presidential race. The Constitutional Union Party was also new; 1860 was the first and only time the party ran a candidate for president. The results of the 1860 election pushed the nation into war. The declaration stated the primary reasoning behind South Carolina's declaring of secession from the U.S., which was described as "increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the Institution of Slavery". How did South Carolina respond to the election of Abraham Lincoln as president in 1860? It called for a state convention and demanded a recount. ...
