The year was 1860. The nation was coming apart and yet, its political parties made plans to come together – to gather in convention despite deep-seated and festering sectional issues, each to nominate a candidate and approve platforms that, as it turned out, united regions but not a nation. That meant dark consequences, ensuring this country would reap a cataclysmic whirlwind.
With today’s polarization as a historical backdrop, this is the story of the most divisive presidential election in the history of this nation – the election of 1860.
