When Stephen Douglas was nominated for president at the Democratic convention in 1860, southern delegates were largely dissatisfied with his stance on slavery, particularly his support for popular sovereignty, which allowed territories to decide on the issue themselves. This dissatisfaction led to a split in the Democratic Party, with many southern delegates walking out and eventually nominating their own candidate, John C. Breckinridge. This division highlighted the growing tensions over slavery that would contribute to the Civil War.
