Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:3219945 |
Very rare and original, 1856 John C. Fremont / William H. Dayton (the First Republican Candidates for President and Vice President) Illustrated Presidential Election Campaign Ballot from the State of Connecticut.
This original 1856 Presidential Campaign Ballot measures approx. 3 7/8" by 5 7/8" and is titled “Fremont Ticket”. Below the title is a large illustration of a spread wing eagle atop a Federal Shield and grasping a ribbon in its beak. The ribbon ...features text that reads “E. Pluribus Unum”. Text below the title list the 1856 Republican Party Presidential Electors from the state of Connecticut.
In 1856 slavery was the omnipresent issue, and opposition to the extension of slavery into the territories motivated the rise of the nascent Republican Party. The Republicans and the nativist Know Nothings (known formally as the American Party) competed to replace the defunct Whig Party as the primary opposition to the Democrats. The 1856 Republican National Convention nominated a ticket led by Fremont, an explorer and military officer who had served in the Mexican–American War. The Know Nothings, who ignored slavery and instead emphasized anti-immigration and anti-Catholic policies, nominated a ticket led by former Whig President Millard Fillmore.
Abraham Lincoln actually was considered as a possible Vice-Presidential candidate on the Republican Ticket but eventually the Convention settled on Dayton.
This rare and original, 1856 John C. Fremont Campaign Ballot is in very good to excellent condition – generally clean and crisp and exceptionally well preserved with a light, central horizontal crease and a pencil notation in the top margin.
