Bimetallism
The Democratic Party played a significant role in Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860 by splitting into Northern and Southern factions. The split allowed Lincoln to win the presidency with a majority of electoral votes despite only receiving 40% of the popular vote. The Democratic Party's division over the issue of slavery, with Southern Democrats supporting pro-slavery policies, weakened their overall support and helped Lincoln secure victory. Additionally, the presence of multiple candidates in the election further divided the Democratic vote, benefiting Lincoln and the Republican Party.
Lincoln's election prompted secession of the Southern slave holding states because the southern slave-owning class viewed the election of an anti-slavery administration as a mortal threat. Though not an abolitionist, Lincoln was an opponent of slavery and determined to use all means at his disposal to stop its spread.
