Abraham Lincoln won the presidency in 1860 because the pro slavery vote was split between several candidates. He ran against three others. They were Northern Democrat Stephen Douglas, Southern Democrat John C. Breckenridge and Constitutional Union candidate John Bell. Lincoln was the only Republican and the first to win a presidential election.
The Battle of Midway gave the allies an advantage in the pacific. This is because the US forces there destroyed four aircraft carriers, causing major damage to Japanese naval air forces to the point they couldn’t replace them in time before the war ended.
Here are why the other answers are incorrect:
The island of Midway was actually under US control before the attack, and was too far from Japan for attacks to be held there. However, it was a crucial airbase that had to be kept for control of the local region.
The Japanese took a few more years to surrender, but some historians consider this battle to be a turning point in the pacific campaign.
The majority of carriers were not destroyed at midway, but as stated above, the destruction of four proved to be a crucial victory, since the Japanese couldn’t replace them in a timely manner.
Hope this helps!
