In 1860, Henry Seward was initially considered the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination. However, he was ultimately replaced by Abraham Lincoln, who secured the nomination at the Republican National Convention in Chicago. Lincoln's appeal as a moderate candidate helped him gain support from various factions within the party, leading to his successful nomination. Lincoln went on to win the presidency in the general election.
