What led to lincoln’s victory in the election of 1860

The division of the Democratic Party led to Lincoln’s victory in the election of 1860.

Explanation:

The presidential election in the United States in 1860 was the 19th presidential election in U.S. history, and it formed the backdrop for the Civil War. The nation had been divided since the 1850s around the individual states' right to self-government and the issue of slavery. The conflict peaked in 1860, and the formerly dominant Democratic Party was divided into a northern and a southern faction. This is also why they put two candidates to the election, Stephen A. Douglas of the Northern Democrats and John C. Breckinridge of the Southern Democrats. This gave Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party the lead they needed, and Lincoln was elected the 16th president of the United States.
