Lincoln was chosen as a [[candidate]] for the elections in 1860 for different reasons. Among these reasons was that his views on slavery were less extreme than those of other people who wanted to be candidates. Lincoln was from what was then one of the Western states and had a bigger chance of winning the election there. Other candidates that were older or more [[:experience|experienced]] than him had [[enemy|enemies]] inside the party.<ref>{{cite book |title=Why the Civil War Came |url=https://archive.org/details/whycivilwarcame00bori |author=Boritt, Gabor S. |publisher=Oxford University Press|date=1997|isbn=0195113764 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/whycivilwarcame00bori/page/n3 3]–30}}</ref><ref name="nationalexperience">
