I saw in 1860, Abraham Lincoln won 1,866k votes and 180 electoral college votes, whereas the other three Southern candidates got 847k/ 72, 592k/ 39 and 1,382k/ 123 electoral college votes. For a total of 2,821k votes/ . If the 3 Southerners had worked together, they would be won and slavery would've been going on. I dunno, maybe Abe would've still won through electoral colleges.
