During the 1860 US presidential race, the Democrats were divided. Although Lincoln lost the popular vote, he had enough votes in the Electoral College to win easily. Had the Democrats been united, there was an excellent chance that Lincoln would not have won the 1860 presidential election.

How did the election of 1858 help Lincoln?

1858 was an off-year election. The Republicans gained six Senate seats and 26 House seats , thereby showing greater strength as a national party. Lincoln was defeated in his bid for a Senate seat, but his campaign debates attracted national attention and helped him get the Republican nomination and win the election as President in 1860.
