What was the wide awake movement

Started in new york. Attracted men over 10,000. Campaigned for Lincoln. There was definitely unstable times

The three campaign strategies

1. Wide awakes- political movement

2. Douglas going around the country- this was weird bc it was still. The 1800s, he wanted ti be different yk!

3. Fusion tickets in pennsylvania and 2 news.- wanted to combine votes just to stop lincoln.

National convention

William was considered the favorite but his connecion with the opps was strange and he supported immigrants with was agist the american party,

Lincoln got more attention during debates
