The Democratic candidate for president in 1860 was Stephen A. Douglas, a senator from Illinois. The Democratic Party was divided that year, leading to a split in nominations; while Douglas represented the Northern Democrats, John C. Breckinridge, the sitting vice president, was the candidate for the Southern Democrats. This division reflected the growing tensions over slavery and sectionalism in the United States at the time.
Divided government occurs when one party controls the presidency while another party controls one or both chambers of Congress. In the United States, notable years of divided government include 1995-2001, when Republicans controlled Congress and Bill Clinton was president, and from 2001-2003, with George W. Bush in office and a Democratic Senate. More recently, divided government has been seen from 2019-2021, with Donald Trump as president and a Democratic House. Each instance reflects shifts in political power and voter preferences.
The slavery issue changed political parties. The Whig Party collapsed, divided between anti slavery Northerners and proslavery Southerners. With this split, a Democrat won the 1852 campaign for president. Some Whigs joined the new American party.
