Who was Lincoln's VP in 1960? Why was he dumped?
Bump.
Sorry, but I don't know anybody who "celebrated" yesterday. Tomorrow, June 21, more importantly, is motorcycle Ride To Work Day.
Lincoln's 1860 running mate was Hannibal Hamlin, former Senator from Maine. Lincoln had him replaced in 1864 with Andrew Johnson to appeal to pro-war Democrats. Johnson, a former Democrat Governor of Tennessee, was the only southern Senator to stay with the Union rather than go with the Confederacy. Lincoln then made him Military Governor of Tennesse.
Though Hamlin may have been mediocre, he at least was a solid Republican and would have been a far better President than a Democrat, Andrew Johnson.
