Answer:

A former Whig, Lincoln ran on a political platform opposed to the expansion of slavery in the territories. His election served as the immediate impetus for the outbreak of the Civil War. After being sworn in as president, Lincoln refused to accept any resolution that would result in Southern secession from the Union.

Explanation:

The dominant party, the Democratic Party, had split into two sectional factions, with each promoting its own candidate. ... The Constitutional Union Party was also new; 1860 was the first and only time the party ran a candidate for president. The results of the 1860 election pushed the nation into war.

What could Great Britain have done to avoid the terrible violence that

marusya05 [52]

Answer: They could have addressed those concerns and could have granted more sovereignty to the colonies and thereby easily averted the conflict. Granting the colonies some form of meaningful representation in London and changing those policies that the Americans resented would have placated many reluctant revolutionaries and defused the most ambitious proponents of independence.
