Rather than the candidate himself, this picture centers on a campaign badge, a small piece of wearable politics from Abraham Lincoln's run for the presidency. Badges like this were pinned to coats and hats during the 1860 contest, when Republicans rallied voters across the North with parades, songs and printed material. Lincoln won the election in November 1860 without carrying any slaveholding state, a result that helped push the country toward secession and civil war. The object is a reminder of how personal and tangible campaigning had become by then.
