Aside:

In 1860 Democrats from the southern states broke away from the mainstream convention over the issue of limits on the expansion of slavery and nominated a competing ticket of John C. Breckenridge of Kentucky and Joseph Lane of Oregon. Both the Breckenridge and Douglas tickets were supported by the state party organizations in their respective regions. See /wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1860

In 1948, Southern Democrats again split with the national party over civil rights and nominated a ticket of South Carolina Governor Strom Thurmond and Mississippi Governor Fielding Wright on the State's Rights Democratic ("Dixiecrats") Party Ticket.See /wiki/1948_presidential_election
