Was Lincoln on the ballot in Tennes...Interesting. <br /><br />Was Lincoln on the ballot in Tennesee? He was not allowed on the ballot in 9 of the 11 Southern states. <br /><br />It didn't matter much if he had been -- but elections in the Deep South were a joke anyway. Only pro slavery candidated were allowed to campaign anyway.<br /><br />Lincoln would have been hung if he had campaigned in the South, or handed out literature. The SOuth had suppressed anti -slavery speech from 1820's on.Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206503506011763393noreply@blogger.com
