Question

As a result of the Democratic convention in 1860?

A. Abraham Lincoln became their candidate.
B. the party split and two candidates were nominated.
C. John C. Breckinridge emerged as the party’s leader.
D. the party agreed on an anti-slavery message.

Answer 1

B on edge is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A is incorrect because Lincoln ran for the republican party.

D is incorrect because the Democratic party was pro-slavery.

So that leaves us with B and C.


I don't know who John C. Breckinridge is, but I do know that Lincoln was the least popular candidate running for president. The only reason Lincoln won the election was because the democratic party split their votes between two candidates, so neither democratic candidate got enough votes to win the election.

So the answer is B.
