The ‘Rail Splitter' Fights For and Wins the Republican Nomination (1859-1860)
“That Presidential Grub Gnaws Deep” - Pursuing the Republican Nomination (1859-1860)
Lincoln's speeches were being published and widely circulated, as he began to practice law again as a means of income. When John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry occurred, Democrats cited this as an example of slave-agitation caused by the Republicans. Lincoln also began to address the southern threat of succession, deeming it an ‘act of treason'. In 1860, leading Republicans sought to boost Lincoln's candidacy, as many saw him as the ‘more-electable' of the candidates. Of all of the speeches in his political career, the ones that seemed the most difficult for Lincoln were his New York speeches as they made him feel uncomfortable and out of place. During this time, Lincoln acquired the moniker “rail-splitter” which stemmed from a casual comment he made.
