Lincoln's victory in the 1860 election was largely due to the divided state of the Democratic Party, which split into Northern and Southern factions, diminishing their overall electoral strength. Additionally, Lincoln's platform against the expansion of slavery resonated with many Northern voters who were concerned about the preservation of the Union. His effective campaign strategy and the support of the newly formed Republican Party also played crucial roles in securing his win, despite not appearing on the ballot in several Southern states. This election ultimately set the stage for the Civil War, as it highlighted the deepening sectional divides in the country.

Which presidential candidate of the 1860 election did most white in the south vote for?

Because at the time of the election of 1860 only white males had the right to vote, so it's unnecessary to ask who most whites voted for in 1860. Most southern states voted for the Southern Democratic Party's candidate John Breckenridge, who's VP was Joseph Lane.
