In the election of 1860, the Republicans won the electoral votes of all the free states, except a fraction from New Jersey. Abraham Lincoln, the Republican candidate, secured this victory amid a divided Democratic Party. This election was crucial as it foreshadowed the impending Civil War due to rising tensions over slavery.
