Lincoln and rail-splitter tale shapes 1860 delegation
In 1860 Illinois faced a danger of an eastern nominee breaking a solid Lincoln delegation. Dick Oglesby and John Hanks revived Lincoln, using two rails as a symbol to rally the convention. The staged entry and rail banner helped crush Seward’s bid, ensuring Lincoln’s nomination at Chicago. The 1860 Illinois delegation proved decisive, powered by top leaders and tireless work.
