Louisiana was won by Southern Democratic candidate, Vice President John C. Breckinridge and his running with Senator Joseph Lane of Oregon. The ticket defeated the Constitutional Union ticket of Senator John Bell of Tennessee and his running mate Massachusetts Governor Edward Everett along with Northern Democrat Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois and his running mate Georgia Governor Herschel V. Johnson. Breckinridge won the state by a narrow margin of 4.90%. Republican Party candidate Abraham Lincoln was not on the ballot in the state.
This was the first time Louisiana ever voted for a losing candidate since it began popular vote elections for president in 1828. Even when its vote was chosen by the state legislature, the only time it voted for a candidate who did not win was in 1824, when it voted for Andrew Jackson, but Jackson won the nationwide popular vote. Thus, this was the first time Louisiana ever voted by any means for a candidate who lost the electoral vote and popular vote. [3]
The 1804 United States presidential election was the fifth quadrennial presidential election, held from Friday, November 2, to Wednesday, December 5, 1804.

The 1860 United States presidential election was the 19th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 6, 1860. In a four-way contest, the Republican Party ticket of Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin won a national popular plurality, a popular majority in the North where states had already abolished slavery, and a national electoral majority comprising only Northern electoral votes. Lincoln's election thus served as the main catalyst of the states that would become the Confederacy seceding from the Union. This marked the first time that a Republican was elected president. It was also the first presidential election in which both major party candidates were registered in the same home state; the others have been in 1904, 1920, 1940, 1944, and 2016.
