Who ran for President against Abraham Lincoln?
In the 1860 election he was opposed by John C. Breckinridge, John Bell and Stephen A. Douglas. In 1864 George B McClellan represented the Democratic Party. A series of debates to the 1858 Senate election for illinois. Slavery and "popular sovereignty" and states rights were the issues that wre discussed. Doughlas defeated Lincon for the Senate seat but couldn't do the same trick for the presiential election.
What was John Bell's view of slavery?
Although a large slaveholder, Bell opposed efforts to expand slavery to the U.S. territories. He vigorously opposed Pres. James Knox Polk's Mexican War policy and voted against the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska bill (1854), and the attempt to admit Kansas as a slave state. Bell's temperate support of slavery combined with his vigorous defense of the Union brought him the presidential nomination on the Constitutional Union ticket in 1860, but he carried only Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. :P
