How Lincoln Was Named by Patriots
The narrative recalls Abraham Lincoln being nominated by a congressional convention. Cook of Illinois moved to declare Lincoln the choice, and after debates Lincoln received 484 votes to Grant’s 22, all but Missouri’s 22 votes. Missouri’s Hume explained obedience to instruction but shifted to Lincoln as the Missouri delegation remained unified for the Union. The vote became unanimous, and the Baltimore convention later renominated Lincoln amid notable absences, marking a pivotal moment in U.S. political history.
