One is a primary source, printed at the time in a newspaper to explain the results of the election to the citizens. This map only included the states which were created by 1860. The second is a modern map, including the outline of all 50 states (with the states which did not exist in 1860 shaded in grey) The second map does not offer a key for what candidate was chosen by each state, like in the first example. Instead it uses our modern political and electoral coloring scheme of Blue for Democrats and Red for Republican, with third party candidates being colored yellow. In both maps what we see is a clear split between political parties based on geography, with the North being very much in favor of the Republican party (Lincoln) and the South being for the Democrats (Breckinridge and Douglas). Also we see what will become the “Border States” voting for a third party candidate. ELECTION OF 2016 Source: U.S. Presidential Election of 2016.
