Answer:

3. 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In both instances of the election, Lincoln won with just the support of the North. In many cases, Lincoln did not even appear as a choice due to being a free-lander, later abolitionist, and was not able to get many votes from the South. However, it is important to note that the North had more electorate votes per state as there were more people living in Northern states, thereby giving Lincoln the edge.
