Time: 1834

Place: Illinois, U.S.

Details: Lincoln's second state house campaign in 1834, this time as a Whig, was a success over a powerful Whig opponent.

He voted to expand suffrage beyond white landowners to all white males, but adopted a "free soil" stance opposing both slavery and abolition.
