What did US President Lincoln do to preserve the unity of the Republican Party after his 1860 election?
The quest for the Republican Party's presidential nominations was not easy for Abraham Lincoln. Upon securing the nomination and winning the presidential election of 1860, Lincoln included in his administration some of his rivals within the party. This was an effort to preserve the Party's unity as it was a divided party when the radical wing is considered. Lincoln appointed Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Frederick William Seward to his cabinet. All of them had aspirations to be the head of the Republican Party.
