The POD might need to be further back...
I mean, this is still pretty close to OTL. The only states I flipped or even really changed the votes for were Missouri (Douglas win in OTL), North Carolina, and Maryland (Breckenridge wins). The civil war breaks out not long after the election. The only real difference is maybe the Democrats...
