Breckinridge
How does this map illustrate the relationship between the election of 1860 and
Southern secession? (5 points)
1) It shows Breckinridge winning in the South just before they seceded and he
became the president of the Confederacy.
2) It reveals that Bell stole Southern states from Breckinridge, leading to a split
between the South and border states.
