Question

Election of 1860
Abraham Lincoln won the electoral vote, but less than 40% of the popular vote.
O True
O False
I actually need help with this question for school.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The split in the Democratic party is sometimes held responsible for Lincoln's victory despite the fact that Lincoln won the election with less than 40% of the popular vote, as much of the anti-Republican vote was "wasted" in Southern states in which no ballots for Lincoln were circulated
