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.
