Respuesta :

The first one, fourth and fifth one, and the seventh and the eighth ones are correct! I am positive! Hope this helps! :)

The 1860 United States (US) Presidential Election was held on 6th November 1860 and was won by Republican Abraham Lincoln against Constitutional Union candidate John Bell, A. Douglas, Democrat Stephen, and Southern Democrat John C. Breckinridge.

The first, fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth points are correct answers because;

  • The Presidential elections of 1860 were fought by candidates from four major political parties.

  • Stephen Douglas, the official candidate of the Northern Democratic Party, was widely regarded as the most formidable opponent of Abraham Lincoln, who was running on the Republican Party platform.

  • Despite receiving only 39.8 percent of the popular vote, Lincoln received far more electoral votes than the combined total of the other three choices of candidates.

Therefore, Lincoln and Douglas's victories given in other options are incorrect. So, The refusal of participation in elections by the Confederacy and candidates' no majority statements are false.
