  • Summary

  • It was April 12, 1861 that the Confederates bombarded Fort Sumter in the Charleston, SC harbor. Fort Sumter became a political issue in the 1860 presidential election. Abraham Lincoln won the election with only 38% of the vote (2 democrats took 60%). If Stephen A Douglas had won would that have saved 700,000 lives and freed the slaves at a slower pace? Would it have reduced Jim Crow laws and the number of lynchings?
