Answer 1

The election of 1860 established the Democratic and Republican parties as the majority parties in the United States. It also confirmed deep tensions surrounding slavery and states’ rights between the North and South. Before Lincoln’s inauguration, eleven Southern states seceded from the Union and just after his swearing-in, the Confederate Army fired on Fort Sumter, starting the Civil War.
