LINCOLN ELECTED PRESIDENT IN 1860
Abraham Lincoln was elected the 16th president of the United
States over a deeply divided Democratic Party, becoming the
first Republican to win the presidency. Lincoln received only
40 percent of the popular vote but handily defeated the three
other candidates: Southern Democrat John C. Breckinridge, Constitutional Union candidate John Bell, and Northern
Democrat Stephen Douglas, a U.S. senator for Illinois.
