In 1860, the South's choice for president was John C. Breckinridge, the Democratic candidate who supported the expansion of slavery into the territories. He was the sitting vice president under James Buchanan and was seen as a champion of Southern interests. Breckinridge's nomination reflected the South's desire for a leader who would defend their rights and way of life amidst rising tensions over slavery and secession. Ultimately, he received strong support from Southern states but lost the election to Abraham Lincoln.
