The name "Rail Splitter" originated in the Illinois State Republican Convention at Decatur, GA on May 9 1860, when two supporters, future governor (of Illinois) Richard J. Oglesby and one John Hanks, who had lived with the Lincolns, marched into the convention hall with two fence rails to which a sign was attached, "Abraham Lincoln, The Rail Candidate for President in 1860."Lincoln's previous jobs were soldier, postmaster, surveyor, tavern keeper, and rail splitter before he pursued law and politics, and the nickname referred to this modest background. The name caught on at the national convention at Chicago and spread quickly, becoming a campaign slogan.He was a candidate for the "common man" because of his background doing what would now be considered "blue collar". His formal education consisted of 18 months, and yet he eventually ran for office and practiced law.
