The article claims California supported Breckenridge (D) in the 1860 election. This is not correct. Lincoln (R) won a plurality in California. Breckenridge came in 3rd. 32.32% Lincoln (R) 31.71% Douglas (northern D) 28.35% Breckenridge (southern D) 7.60% Bell (CU) https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/elections/1860#:~:text=California,7.6 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1860_United_States_presidential_election#:~:text=AR-,California,119%2C827,-CA https://cdnc.ucr.edu/?a=d&d=SDU18601115.2.9&e=-------en--20--1--txt-txIN-------- https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/ex-confederates-spread-racist-attitudes-far-wide-civil-war-rcna90419?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma&taid=65194327d4ebeb0001bfb905&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter
