States Carried in the 1860 US Election

Name each state carried by the 1860 presidential candidates.
South Carolina did not yet allow a popular vote for presidential candidates.
One state had both a Democrat fusion ticket and a separate Stephen Douglas ticket. This led to the Democrats winning the popular vote in the state, but only the three electors who were on both the fusion ticket and the Douglas ticket winning elector seats. The remaining four seats were won by Republicans. Confusing, I know.
