The Republican Party and Its Presidential Candidates: With Sketches of Fremont and DaytonMiller, Orton & Mulligan, 1856 - 512 páginas The heated 1856 election marked the entrance of the newly formed Republican Party into the presidential fray, and a plethora of campaign literature was produced by both major parties to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the first Republican presidential ticket. In this 1856 volume, Benjamin F. Hall provides biographies of Republican presidential and vice-presidential candidates John C. Fr?mont and William L. Dayton as well as an extensive look at the development of the Republican Party and the evolution of the American election process. Though Fr?mont eventually lost the election to James Buchanan, the stage was set for a young politician from Illinois to take the reins of the Republican Party. |
