The Republican Party's 1860 platform did not back away from their opposition to the extension of slavery to beyond where it already existed. It did, however, realize that the 1856 platform was too radical and therefore did not speak about the so-called institution they had labeled as Slave Power. The platform did reflect a "western" point of view. It favored homesteads on the frontier. It proposed Federal aid to improve infrastructure, such as improving harbors and making rivers more navigable. A small increase in tariffs was also a small bone they threw to the nation's industrial base. The Party also emphasized "full and efficient" protection to all levels of citizens.
