On this day, 150 years ago, people voted… and, laid-out on maps, the results were as follows (the top map is much more detailed, but I regret to say, I can’t find a better image):
In the Shenandoah Valley, the the popular vote was…
| County | Abraham Lincoln (Republican) | John Bell (Constitutional Union) | John C. Breckinridge (Southern Democrat) | Stephen Douglas (Democrat) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Augusta | 0 | 2553 | 218 | 1094 |
| Berkeley | 0 | 913 | 830 | 106 |
| Clarke | 0 | 288 | 335 | 49 |
| Frederick | 0 | 963 | 1315 | 66 |
| Jefferson | 0 | 959 | 458 | 440 |
| Page | 0 | 141 | 937 | 75 |
| Rockbridge | 0 | 1231 | 361 | 641 |
| Rockingham | 0 | 883 | 676 | 1354 |
| Shenandoah | 13 | 427 | 1883 | 170 |
| Warren | 0 | 276 | 462 | 54 |
Yes, on this day, 150 years ago, the votes were cast, but when did the citizens of the Valley learn about the election results… and what was their reaction?

Robert,
The largest county map of the election that I have seen is at Wikipedia.
