Lincoln & the 1860 Election

from A Kansas Memory: The Kansas Historical Society Library and Archives Podcast · host Lin Fredericksen

"The new Republican Party, which opposed the expansion of slavery, nominated Abraham Lincoln for president in 1860. Lincoln took office only a month after Kansas was admitted to the Union. Excerpts from correspondence written by and to Kansans in 1859 and 1860 help us see how Lincoln was regarded in Kansas during the 1860 election."
