From the 1860 Republican Party Platform
The 1860 Republican Party Platform which stated the following:
Resolved. That we, the delegated representatives of the Republican electors of the
United States, in Convention assembled, in discharge of the duty we owe to our constituents
and our country, unite in the following:
4. That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and
especially the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions
according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of powers on
which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depends, and we denounce
the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Territory, no matter
under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes.
That is until Abraham Lincoln is elected President!
