The democratic split was so severe during the 1860 elections that:

the party disbanded
they ran two candidates for the presidency
they had no candidates running for the presidential election
the majority of the members joined the republican party

They ran two candidates for the presidency

Explanation:

During the presidential race of 1860, the major subject of discussion was if slavery should be allowed in the new territories in the West. The Northern and the Southern Democratic Party did not agree in a single candidate or party platform because of this discussion.

The party was divided over the slavery issue, because of that, delegations of 10 southern states left the Democratic Party that was held in Baltimore and held their own for the Constitutional Democrats. This way the Democratic Party had two candidates.

the crusades are one of the most significant events in the history of europe and the middle east.   they were a series of religious wars carried out by christian crusaders from europe during the timeframe of the middle ages.   beginning in 1095 ce, the crusades saw european knights and noblemen travel to the middle east in an attempt to capture the holy land away from muslim people that had controlled the region for the previous centuries.   the term crusade means ‘cross’.   therefore, the europeans that became crusaders viewed themselves as ‘taking up the cross’.   in fact, many of the crusaders wore crosses on their clothing and armor as they made their pilgrimage to the holy land.
