The 1860 presidential campaign was primarily centered around the issues of slavery and its expansion into new territories. The Democratic Party was divided, with Northern Democrats supporting Stephen Douglas's platform of popular sovereignty, while Southern Democrats backed John C. Breckinridge, who advocated for the protection of slavery. The newly formed Republican Party, led by Abraham Lincoln, opposed the spread of slavery, promoting free labor and economic development. Additionally, economic issues, including tariffs and internal improvements, also played a significant role in the campaign.
