Answer to Question 1

Operation Wetback

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define the 1860 election as the Republicans vs. the Democrats, with several third parties contending for office.
2. Explain that the Democrats were hopelessly divided over the issue of the expansion of slavery: northern Democrats did not want slavery to expand to the west, while southern democrats did want slavery to expand. The presence of third parties further sapped votes from the Democrats.
3. Note that Lincoln won the northern states which carried the most elector and popular votes.
4. Conclude that the outcome of the election was extremely critical to the welfare of the nation. Eleven southern states ultimately left the union over the next six months and formed the Confederacy and fought against the United States and to continue slavery forever.
