Who won the election of 1860?
You could say that Aaron Burr, who was Jefferson's running mate finished second. What happened was that in the electoral college , Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied. In those days each electors voted twice and the person finishing second became the vice president. ( One of the pro-Jefferson electors should have left Burr off his ballot. ) Anyway, due to the tie vote , the election went to the House of Representatives. Burr saw his chance to be president and refused to concede. Opponents of Jefferson in the House saw an opportunity to mess up Jefferson's victory, but eventually, Jefferson was elected President. The method of electing the president and vice president was changed by the 12th amendment, which was added to the Constitution in time for the next election .
How did Abraham Lincoln's father treat him?
Very much like an asset, rather than a human being, or son. It was Thomas Lincoln's (Abraham Lincoln's father) debt to a neighbor, which Thomas repaid with labor, working the neighbor's farm. He did this by "loaning" out his son's labor, Abraham to the neighbor, to pay off his debt. Abraham was not paid anything, he simply "worked" off his father's debt, with his sweat and hard work. Lincoln later compared this experience to that of what a slave might have experienced. Abraham Lincoln did not visit his ailing father; upon being informed of his father's declining health, Lincoln refused to visit him and asked his stepbrother to "Say to him that if we could meet now, it is doubtful whether it would not be more painful than pleasant." Thomas Lincoln died 5 days later.
