=﻿Civil War= During the election of 1860, the Northern and Southern democratic parties divided into two. The North elected Stephan Douglas and the South elected John C. Breckinridge. This war made a huge impact in the south's economy, leading to food shortages and transportation collapse. In post war during the reconstruction of the country, the Ku Klux Klan showed their opposition with the Republicans in the South by terrorizing African Americans, White Republicans, and Carpetbaggers.
