Explanation:

This were one of the most important elections in the history of US.

It is interesting that Breckenridge who was opposing slavery morally totally changed his views, as he was owning slaves before.

Also, Bell who was from South did not use this question in the elections.

Therefore Lincoln's main opponent was Douglas.
