The 1860–61 United States House of Representatives elections took place between August 6, 1860, and October 24, 1861, to elect 180 representatives and seven non-voting delegates to the 37th United States Congress. The Republican Party lost seats but gained a majority in the chamber following the withdrawal of the representatives from the Confederate States of America.Jenkins 2013 243
The Republicans were the largest party in the House following the 1858–59 United States House of Representatives elections.McPherson 1988 200 The Republican victory in the 1860 United States presidential election precipitated the secession of 11 slave states between December 1860 and June 1861.McPherson 1988 235, 282–83 Secession interrupted elections for the 37th Congress, which had already taken place in 15 Union states and three states now part of the Confederacy. The absence of the Southern Democrats severely diminished the number of Democratic representatives, which fell to 43. Unionists in the border states and loyal parts of the Confederacy won 22 seats,Dubin 1998 187–91 while Kentucky's Henry C. Burnett was the only secessionist elected to the United States House of Representatives.Craig Ullrich 2016 11
The Constitutional Union Party won four seats, including two from Rhode Island,McLoughlin 1986 145–46 where Democrats and conservative Republicans formed the governing coalition.Smith 2006 140–41 A coalition of Republicans and Constitutional Unionists carried the single seat representing Delaware's at-large congressional district,Munroe 2006 131 while one independent Democrat was elected in New York.Dubin 1998 188
Republicans lost seats in special elections held in the spring of 1861.Dubin 1998 190 The absence of the representatives from the Confederacy enabled the Republican majority to elect the speaker and other officers without the support of other parties. Galusha A. Grow was elected after shifts on the first ballot over fellow Republican Francis P. Blair, Jr.; the Democratic minority split their votes between 12 minor candidates.Jenkins 2013 243–44
Background
Secession
Sixty-fiveDubin counts 62 vacancies at the beginning of the 37th Congress, in addition to two representatives from California not yet elected. Fifty-nine seats were vacant for the duration of the Congress, and six Unionists from Tennessee and Virginia were seated after Congress convened.Dubin 1998 189–91 seats were vacant when the 37th Congress met on July 4, 1861, following the secession of the Confederacy. Three states which later seceded (Arkansas, Florida, and South Carolina) held elections in 1860, electing seven Democrats and two independents who subsequently declined to take their seats. Several unionist districts in Tennessee and Virginia elected representatives who were seated along with the rest of the incoming class. These were the only congressional elections held south of the border states before the beginning of Congress. Several districts under Union Army control held special elections after July 4, but only two Louisiana Unionists were seated.Dubin 1998 187–91
Confederate states had sent 46 Democrats, eight Opposition members, six Whigs, five Independent Democrats, and one Know Nothing to the 36th Congress.Dubin 1998 181–85 The loss of these representatives significantly diminished the size of the House to the benefit of the Republicans, who gained a majority in the chamber for the first time in their history.Jenkins 2013 243
Loyal slave states sent 15 Unionists and five Democrats to the 37th Congress. Four parties elected one representative each from the border states: Republican Francis P. Blair Jr. from Missouri's 1st congressional district, Constitutional Unionist James S. Rollins from Missouri's 2nd congressional district, People's representative George P. Fisher from Delaware's at-large district, and Southern Rights representative Henry C. Burnett from Kentucky's 1st congressional district.Dubin 1998 187–90
End of a Congressional era

Abraham Lincoln and the Great Secession Winter 1860-1861 Simon & Schuster 2008 978-0-7432-8947-4 12
In 1860, Lincoln's campaign brought the Republicans the Presidency. Likewise, the congressional elections also marked the transition from one major era of political parties to another. In just six years, over the course of the 35th, 36th–37th Congresses, a complete reversal of party fortunes swamped the Democrats.Martis 1989 31–35
Elections for Congress were held from August 1860 to June 1861. They were held before, during and after the pre-determined Presidential campaign. And they were held before, during and after the secessionist campaigns in various states as they were reported throughout the country. Political conditions varied hugely from time to time during the course of congressional selection, but they had been shifting to a considerable extent in the years running up to the crisis.Martis 1989 36
In the 1856 elections, the Democrats had taken the Presidency for the sixth time in the last 40 years, with James Buchanan's victory over John C. Fremont and Millard Fillmore. They held almost a two-thirds majority in both the US House and Senate. Democrats held onto the Senate during the midterm elections, but the four opposition parties then amounted to two-thirds of the House. The congressional elections in 1860 transformed Democratic fortunes: Republican and Unionist candidates won a two-thirds majority in both House and Senate.Martis 1989 34
After the secessionist withdrawal, resignation and expulsion, the Democrats would have less than 25% of the House for the 37th Congress, and that minority divided further between pro-war (Stephen Douglas), and anti-war (Clement Vallandigham) factions.Martis 1989 114, 115

Results by region
Historians of the Civil War era subdivide the Northern United States into upper and lower regions. The Lower North (also called the Border North) is normally defined as the free states sharing a border with one or more slave states; in 1860, this included Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.Freehling 2007 97 The remaining free states—New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont), Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and Wisconsin—constituted the Upper North. During the 1850s, the Upper North was solidly Republican, while the Lower North's population included large numbers of immigrants and the descendants of White Southerners favorable to the Democratic Party.Foner 1995 144, 186 The Southern United States was split between the Upper South, which included the border states (Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri) and the Middle South (Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia), and the Lower South, comprising the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas. In 1861, the Lower South states were the first to secede, while the Middle South and the border states remained in limbo.Freehling 2007 2–3 California and Oregon, on the West Coast of the United States, were geographically isolated from the rest of the country.

Tennessee
List of United States representatives from Tennessee
Tennessee seceded on June 8, 1861, and held elections for the Confederate States Congress on August 1. In four districts including parts of unionist East Tennessee, the Unionist candidates pledged to serve in the United States Congress if elected. (The Confederacy seated the losing secessionist candidates from these districts.) In the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd districts, some voters marked their ballots "for U.S. Congress only;" these votes are counted separately below. Ultimately, three Tennessee Unionists were seated by the House; a fourth, Thomas A. R. Nelson, was elected but was captured by the Confederacy en route to Washington to take his seat.Dubin 1998 192n27–32
