In the election of 1860 the Democrats stay united. They elect the pro-slavery ticket of Stephen Douglas and Jefferson Davis. In 1861 Abraham Lincoln leads the Secession of the North. CONFEDERATE UNION is the ULTIMATE alternative history of the Civil War "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better-- This is a most valuable, -- a most sacred right -- a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world." - Abraham Lincoln "It needs the united power, harmonious action and concentrated will of the people of all these States to roll the wheel of progress to the end which our fathers contemplated, and which their sons, if they are wise and true, may behold. This great country will remain united." - Jefferson Davis
