The final presidential election results are not made until the vote of the Electoral College in December.
However, each state's preliminary totals are shown in the media following the end of voting in each state. By late evening on election day, the result is usually clear, and by tradition includes a concession call (from the losing candidate to the winning candidate). In some cases, this is after midnight Eastern Time.
Because voters go to the polls according to local time, voters in Hawaii (and rarely, in Pacific coast states) may become aware of the likely result before the close of voting in their state.
When Americans vote for a presidential candidate they are not actually casting a vote for that person but for a slate of electors pledged to vote for that candidate in a meeting to be held later. These electors are the people who officially elect the president and vice president.
Each state has its own mechanism for certifying the popular vote for the slate of electors. After the vote is certified by the state, the winning group of electors meets to officially cast their votes. These meeting of the Electoral College's electors are usually held sometime in November or December following the election. Each state's Electoral College meeting then sends their results to the United States Senate in Washington, DC for tabulation.
The President of the United States Senate, then calls a meeting of the entire Congress to tabulate and officially certify the results. This happens in early January, after the new session of Congress begins but before the January 20th inauguration day.
In the 1860 Presidential election, he beat: Vice President John Breckenridge a Southern Democrat, Senator Stephen Douglas a Northern Democrat, and John Bell from the Constitutional Union Party, (former Whigs and Know-Nothings, combined).

because they thought that he was going to keep slavery
Uh, the same way white people vote - by registering and going to the polls on election day.
In the 1860 presidential election, which occurred before the Civil War began, Lincoln was the nominee of the Republicans. Stephan A. Douglas was nominated by the Democrats, but a pro-slavery faction walked out of the convention and nominated John C. Breckinridge. There was also fourth party made up of old-line Whigs and hold-overs from the American (Know-Nothing) party, and they nominated John Bell. All four candidates received electoral votes. In 1864, while the Civil War was still going on, Lincoln ran for a second term for President, and General George B. McClellan, who Lincoln had fired a few years earlier, ran against him. In the Senate elections of 1858, Abraham Lincoln lost to Stephan Douglas, the Northern Democratic Party's presidential nominee in 1860.
It was Stephen Douglass and John C. Breckenridge who he was going against.
