You might want to study it youself, instead of depending on Conner (of all people).
You (and Conner) glide over, Why the Democratic Party ruptured.
Your knowledge of the Civil War Era is abysmal. If Douglas had been the Candidate of a unified democratic party, then the solid south and northern democrat would have won the election. You might study up, independent of your revisionist sources, to discover why Stephen A. Douglas was as hated by the southern leadership as Lincoln AND preferring Lincoln to be elected rather than Douglas, who was more in harmony with the southern agenda than Lincoln.
At Ft. Sumter, the southern leadership got exactly what it wanted for its narrow political goal, war; just as they got what they wanted in the the general election; Lincoln as President.
