So basically... the presidential election of 1860 was important because it is when the election of the president of the United States was held. Lincoln won the election and had more electoral votes. He had more popular votes than any candidate. Since the election had four main candidates, it allowed Lincoln to gain more electoral votes than he would. :)
It would be the "United States" that <span>emerged as a global superpower shortly after World War II, due largely to its manufacturing capability but also because it had been protected by two massive oceans. </span>
