Breckenridge, and a breakaway faction nominate and run John Bell. So the Democrats divided their vote three ways in 1860, and Lincoln "won" with less than 40% of the popular vote.

Lincoln, the Republican candidate, lost the election but his arguments were well-received by the audiences. He collected the transcribed texts into a book, which also became popular, leading to his nomination for President in 1860.
