Explanation:

By the 1860´s presidential election, the Democratic Party had split into proslavery Democrats in the South and antislavery Democrats in the North, so each ran different candidates. The Whigs were unable to take advantage of the situation because they were also divided over slavery and endured a lack of leadership after the deaths of Clay and Webster. The political void seemed helpful to the new Republican Party, which had its first elected president, Abraham Lincoln.

Since then, third parties usually helped to strengthen the two major parties, although a new third party may divide the vote of the leading one.

The Bull Moose party was formed by a former Republican President and Jane Adams. Democrats and Republicans worked together to destroy the Whig party.

by 1890, the united states had by far the world's most productive economy. american industry produced twice as much as its closest competitor--britain. but the united states was not a great military or diplomatic power. its army numbered less than 30,000 troops, and its navy had only about 10,000 seamen. britain's army was five times the size of its american counterpart, and its navy was ten times bigger. the united states' military was small because the country was situated between two large oceans and was surrounded by weak or friendly nations. it faced no serious military threats and had little interest in asserting military power overseas.

answer: secession

secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the american civil war, comprises the series of events that began on december 20, 1860, and extended through june 8 of the next year when eleven states in the lower and upper south severed their ties with the union. the first seven seceding states of the lower south set up a provisional government at montgomery, alabama. after hostilities began at fort sumter in charleston harbor on april 12, 1861, the border states of virginia, arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to richmond, virginia. the union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the united states, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the confederate states of america.
