"The Pennsylvania State Election"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The populous, economically important state of Pennsylvania was also a
political powerhouse in the mid-19th century. In 1860 it had 27
electoral votes, second only to New York’s 35 and just ahead of Ohio’s 23.
Pennsylvania possessed as many electoral votes as Virginia (15) and Kentucky
(12) had together and more than Indiana (13) and Illinois (11) combined. In 1856
Democrat James Buchanan had carried his home state of Pennsylvania and won the
presidency. In 1860 the state was considered crucial to the campaign strategies
of the Republican, the Constitutional Union, and the Democratic parties. |
