Walking With Old Sweet Sadie

It is not over until the "fat lady sings" or the "electoral colleges" vote 19 December 2016. Here are some tidbits of Presidents and their electoral college votes.

Found on Newspapers.com

Abraham Lincoln
The convention stampeded and Lincoln was nominated, with Hannibal Hamlin of Maine as Vice President. The campaign of 1860 was a memorable one. Lincoln carried the country with 1860 was a memorable one. Lincoln carried the country with 180 votes in the Electoral College, against 72 for Breckenridge, 12 for Douglas and 39 for bell. While Lincoln, however, carried the Electoral College, he failed to carry the popular vote. The advent of Lincoln was the signal for secession, and the civil war opened the year after he was elected and raged during his first term. He was nominated for a second term by the Republicans, with Andrew Johnson as Vice-President, the democrats presenting as his opponent Gen. George B. McClellan of New Jersey, and George H. Pendleton of Ohio.

The contest was a heated one, and extraordinary efforts were put forth to secure, if possible, the election of the young commander of the Potomac. The war was still raging and bitter feelings were engendered. In border States provost-marshals still kept watch, and Democrats were threatened with arrest. The election passed off quietly, however, the army vote taken in camp, being so largely for Lincoln that he was elected, securing a total of 212 votes in the Electoral College to 21 for McClellan. The latter had the votes of New Jersey, Delaware and Kentucky. Eleven States were disfranchised, viz.: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. In a brief time after Mr. Lincoln's inauguration for the second term he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, while enjoying a play in Ford's Theater on Good Friday. Booth has pursued, chased to a barn and shot. For a time the place of his burial was kept a secret, but finally his family secured for him a Christian burial.

Good Night! Good Luck!
