In 1860, slavery was a central issue that deeply divided the US political parties. The Democratic Party split into Northern and Southern factions, with Southern Democrats supporting slavery and Northern Democrats advocating for popular sovereignty. The newly formed Republican Party emerged as a strong opponent of the expansion of slavery into new territories, appealing to anti-slavery sentiments in the North. This division contributed to the election of Abraham Lincoln, highlighting the profound impact of slavery on the political landscape and leading the nation toward civil conflict.
