Clearly illustrates the well-known Southern sympathies of many in south Illinois. Douglas won all the red/purple and white counties. Lincoln won all the blue and yellow counties; the white & yellow being the closest races.
What's interesting, perhaps telling, is Sangamon county where Lincoln lived, worked, and would have been best known personally........voted for Douglas.

Two questions, was Breckenridge on the ballot in Illinois in 1860? How did the people of Cairo Illinois feel about a union command post being made out of their town? Lol.
