The Election of 1860...
    There were three candidates in the election of 1860. Two were Democratic and one, for the very first time, was Republican. One Democrat was southern, the other northern. The Republican one was Abraham Lincoln. Evidently, Lincoln won. The southern states were outraged and almost immediately seceded. All of the southern states except for Missouri and Kentucky seceded from the union. As a result, the infamous Civil War broke out killing more U.S. citizens than all of the other wars combined.
