Who ran for president as a Republican in 1860?

Stephen Douglas
Abraham Lincoln
Jefferson Davis
John C. Breckinridge

1 answer

In the 1860 presidential election, the main candidates from the Republican Party included Abraham Lincoln. The other names you mentioned—Stephen Douglas and John C. Breckinridge—were candidates from different parties: Douglas was the nominee for the Northern Democrats, and Breckinridge was the nominee for the Southern Democrats. Jefferson Davis was not a presidential candidate in that election; he was the President of the Confederate States during the Civil War. Therefore, the correct answer is Abraham Lincoln.
