Campaign Issues of 1860 Pamphlet Highlight Lincoln Rise
An eight page pamphlet owned by Mrs. C. M. Older presents Hon. John Hickman’s July 24 1860 Philadelphia address and the Republican platform. It frames slavery expansion into new territories as the central issue, predicts southern vote split and northern support for Lincoln, and urges immediate admission of Kansas as a state under its own constitution. The platform denounces the Lecompton constitution and calls for westward railroad expansion and a national overland mail. The pamphlet is a Chester County Times reprint and offers a vivid snapshot of a pivotal pre Civil War era.
