Question

All of the following are true about the Presidential Election of 1860 EXCEPT:

A) There were four candidates who won some electoral votes
B) The Democrats could not agree on a candidate - so they had two one for Northern Democrats and one for Southern Democrats
C) Lincoln won with 180 electoral votes and a unified Republican Party behind him
D) Douglas had the second most popular votes of the four candidates , but only won the electoral votes from one state (Missouri)
E) Lincoln campaigned to not abolish slavery where it already existed, but did not want it to spread to the west
F) Because Lincoln was not out to abolish slavery where it already existed, he won electoral votes from 3 key southern states

Answer 1

F is false (how convenient).

Step-by-step explanation:

Lincoln had support from many Northern states. The states in the North had more people, so the head count helped to secure his victory. He did not receive the vote of any Southern state because he was against the idea of slavery spreading.
