One interesting aspect of this election was that Lincoln would still have won if all his opponents combined their votes, despite getting under 40%. The only states Lincoln won with under 50% of the vote were Oregon and California (7 electoral votes total), while he was not even on the ballot and hence got zero votes in most of the southern states.
this was united states during their heyday and history would be a lot different if they did not have civil war there
It’s crazy how this election, and 1856, were basically two different elections between the north and the south.
i forgot how big some of these counties were like the 3 biggest southern california counties today have a population combination of around 25 million
