Maine in 1860 was a state of roughly 628,000 people, and its economy still ran on timber, shipbuilding, and the sea. Bangor on the Penobscot and the lumber towns upriver shipped sawn boards and square timber to ports up and down the coast, while Portland and Bath built ships for the coastal and foreign trade. That spring, Republicans gathered in Chicago and chose Hannibal Hamlin, a Maine senator, as Abraham Lincoln's running mate, and Maine voters followed the sectional quarrel over slavery closely in newspapers and at town meetings. Railroads had reached many of the larger towns by then, bringing freight and travelers into places that had once depended on river and coastal boats.
