The Election of 1860 - Part 1

Hey y'all! This is a topic that historians describe as "a big 'un." 

For the next few weeks we're going to be talking about the election of Abraham Lincoln and all of the things that had to happen for a brand new political party go from upstart troublemakers to having control of the House, Senate, and Presidency in the span of six years. 

In part one, we're going full high school history on your butts! It's thirty years of all the Compromises that hit the snooze button on Civil War while also leading the nation into inevitable battle.
