What was the difference between The Republican Party and The Democratic Party in 1860?


The Republicans wanted to abolish slavery, while the Democrats thought this should be a matter of people’s own interest. The Republican Party also wanted to unite all the states under one strong government with Abraham Lincoln as their president. The Democrats didn’t want any of this, but wished for greater sovereignty.
