The Constitutional Union Party Constitutional Union Party nominated John Bell of Tennessee for president and Edward Everett of Massachusetts for vice president. The party was organized for the United States election of 1860. It comprised old-line Whigs and remnants of the American (Know-Nothing) party. Persuaded that the agitation over the slavery question could lead only to the disruption of the Union, its founders presented no platform other than a vague appeal for adherence to the Constitution, the Union, and the laws of the United States. Meeting in Baltimore in May 1860, In the November election the Constitutional Union party found its greatest strength among conservatives in the border states, where the effects of civil conflict were especially feared, although the ticket was supported throughout the nation. Bell trailed the Republican candidate, Abraham Lincoln, and the two Democratic nominees, Stephen A. Douglas and John C. Breckinridge, receiving 591,658 popular votes (only 12.6% of the total). He carried the states of Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee with 39 electoral votes. Leaders of the party, in the ensuing months, called for reconciliation of the sections through a compromise of the slavery issue, but without success.

His platform of halting the expansion of slavery into new territories alarmed Southern leaders, who feared this would ultimately lead to the abolition of slavery itself. As a result, several Southern states chose to secede from the Union, believing they needed to protect their rights and way of life. This secession ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War.
John Bell, a prominent political figure and the candidate for the Constitutional Union Party in the 1860 presidential election, opposed secession. He believed in preserving the Union and sought to find a compromise to prevent the Civil War, advocating for a peaceful resolution to the sectional conflict. Bell emphasized the importance of the Constitution and sought to maintain the Union by appealing to moderates from both the North and South. His stance was rooted in the belief that secession would lead to greater division and conflict.
Lincoln's election in 1860 was perceived by many Southern states as a direct threat to the institution of slavery and their way of life. His platform opposing the expansion of slavery into new territories galvanized fears that the federal government would increasingly limit their rights and autonomy. In response, several Southern states seceded from the Union, believing that their interests were no longer represented in a government led by a Republican president. This secession ultimately set the stage for the Civil War.
