In 1869, the Democratic Party split ino two. The Northern Democrats and the Southern. The North elected Stephan Douglus because he was against slavery just as the Northerners were. After he was elected, the Southerners passed the Black Codes Law in December of 1867 which angered the members of the Congress. After the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Lincoln was against slavery, and a man that supported the confederates shot him while he was attending a play.
