Consequences of a Sumner victory in 1860?

A recent game of President Infinity I played resulted in Charles Sumner winning the Republican nomination and subsequently winning the election with 188 electoral votes

All other candidates are kept the same as far as I know, my knowledge of the era is really bad.

Let's assume Sumner picks Lincoln as his veep for simplicity sake, if this is implausible then feel free to suggest a replacement veep

My question is, what does this do? Does the civil war go as normal? Or do Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware join the CSA as well. I know Sumner was more anti-south than Lincoln, but what does this do?

Where do the other eight come from? All the Free States combined had only 183, and there's no way he'd get any from the Slave States.

Does the ticket even win? Sumner would scare off quite a few moderate voters.

Assuming it does win, not a lot changes, as the VP doesn't make all that much difference. And presumably he'd be replaced in 1864 as Hamlin was.
