During the Civil War, the issues that divided Indiana Democrats and Republicans included:
- Democrats were against the draft.
- Democrats were angry that African Americans could fight in the army.
The other options regarding Republicans not supporting the Emancipation Proclamation and being against the emancipation of African American slaves do not accurately reflect the positions of the Indiana Republicans at the time. Republicans generally supported the Emancipation Proclamation and the enlistment of African Americans in the Union Army.
