The organization called the Wide Awakes were called the Republican Party's "shock troops" . They did little to help Lincoln's 1860 election as they were far too radical. This is reflected by their uniforms and torch light parades around New York City, a Democratic stronghold. As it turned out, Lincoln received about 31% of the New York City votes.
