Hannibal Hamlin was Abraham Lincoln's vice president during his FIRST term (1861-1865), but Lincoln had to sidestep a schism in the Republican Party in 1864. He formed the "National Union" party which included a majority of Republicans and some Democrats. Ironically, his choice of a Southern Democrat (Andrew Johnson) as his running mate meant that Johnson succeeded to the Presidency when Lincoln was killed, just 1 month into his second term. Johnson's quarrels with the Radical Republicans had tremendous implications for the post- Civil War states of the South under Reconstruction.
History might have been quite different if Lincoln had been able to keep Hamlin as his VP.
