Lincoln's second state house campaign
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. Then followed his four terms in the Illinois House of Representatives for Sangamon County. He championed construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, and later was a Canal Commissioner. He voted to expand suffrage beyond white landowners to all white males, but adopted a "free soil" stance opposing both slavery and abolition.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
