Election of 1860

The election of 1860 was a complex realigning election in which the breakdown of the previous two-party alignment culminated in four parties each competing for influence in different parts of the country. The result of the election, with the victory of an ardent opponent of slavery, spurred the secession of eleven states and brought about the American Civil War.

gollark: I doubt they've totally cancelled the discrete graphics thing, there's a contract for them in a supercomputer, but it will probably be very late.

gollark: They do have their own ones derived from AMD's, I think, also.

gollark: Oh yes, I heard they were doing *something*.

gollark: And getting people to switch to alternate architectures without backward compatibility has not really worked well in the past.

gollark: The CPU scene is kind of not very good because there are only two companies with access to x86 intellectual property.
