Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the issues of the 1860 presidential election between Breckinridge, Douglas, and Bell. The author analyzes the platforms of the candidates, focusing on the question of states' rights in the territories and the protection of slavery. The author argues that Douglas, who sought to avoid alienating Northern voters, willfully violated the principle of protecting slavery in the territories, leading eight Southern states to leave the Democratic convention. The author also discusses the admission of non-representative delegates to the convention, which further depleted the Democratic vote and contributed to the party's division. The book provides insights into the complex political landscape of the time and the challenges the Democratic party faced in balancing the interests of different regions and constituencies.
