In the 1856 campaign for the US presidency, Democrats used many arguments to persuade voters not to vote for the Republicans. One strong argument was that the Republicans were dominated by evangelical Christians. The Democrats denounced the mixture of politics and religion. This in fact was true. The Republican campaign erased any lines between religion and politics. Churches became party gathering places and Protestant ministers were prominent during the campaign.
