Origins and Rise of the Indiana Republican Party 1854 1860
A historical account from The State Journal traces Indiana politics from 1854 to 1860. It covers the fusion of anti slavery forces, county and district organizing, the May 1856 Indiana People’s Convention, key figures like O. P. Morton and H. S. Lane, and the shifts within Know Nothings toward the Republican banner amid debates over Kansas, naturalization, and temperance. The piece notes national organizing efforts and the Philadelphia convention.
