Maybe to get how this happens...
Bare with me. Seeing common goals and fearful of what a Buchanan presidency might hold, the Whigs and Republicans nominate together. The original presidential nominees join together to form a Fremont/Fillmore ticket. The create a unified more moderate platform and run close races in Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey. Buchanan skates by in Indiana, Maryland (fearing Fremont), and New Jersey, but narrowly fails to overcome the Unity ticket in Illinois and most importantly, Pennsylvania. Fremont wins 152 electoral votes, giving him a small electoral victory.
Then I will say, the South does not secede, for like others said they aren't prepared. However, traitorous South Carolina, always ready to leave the country at a moment's notice, does secede, but is quelled.
