Answer 5

In the 1860 US presidential elections, there were four candidates. Abraham Lincoln, Republican,Stephen A. Douglas, Democrat, John Bell, Constitutional Union Party, and John C. Breckinridge, a southern Democrat. Lincoln won because the three other candidates were actually Democrats and the Party's inability to back one single candidate was a bad decision in light of the political circumstances of the time. Lincoln won easily in the Electoral College, however, he was a "minority" winner with about 31% of the popular vote.
