Election of 1860

Last week in class we made a short "Show Me" on the election of 1860. President Lincoln was victorious in this election which made him the 16th president of the United States of America. Also we watched a crash course video tht showed how the slavery issue caused a division for many things.  The results of theelection of 1860 represented the deep divisions of the south in many ways. For example Breckenridge believe in no limits on slavery and he won most deep southern states. Lincoln was against slavery so he obviously won many northern states. Bell wanted to preserve te constitution and the union as it is, including slavery and he won 3 states bordering the north and the south. Finally Douglas wanted to determine the spread of slavery by using popular sovereignty. He only won Missouri. This shows how America really wasn't agreeing at this point in time which led to the civil war. This map shows the states that each candidate won. At this time in America people had a hard time agreeing on anything and I'm happy we got over it. 

Also we made a short "Show Me" enjoy!
