States’ rights advocates during the 1860 presidential election would have supported **the idea of popular sovereignty**. This concept allowed territories to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery, aligning with the principles of states' rights and local governance. While the candidacy of John Bell, who ran on a platform that emphasized unity and avoiding extremism, could also appeal to some states' rights supporters, the principle of popular sovereignty directly reflects the states' rights ideology.
