Edward L. Ayers and William G. Thomas, III
Politics, Franklin County, 1860 Presidential Voting by Precinct
2001.
Points of Analysis to this Data:
 "In Franklin County, John Breckinridge won a majority in six precincts, most of them in the far northern and western belt of
the county, where few blacks lived and farmers planted corn not wheat."
"Lincoln won sixteen precincts in Franklin, ten of them by margins greater than 55 percent, with support mainly from the urban
center of the county and places with the highest numbers of black residents--even though black men could not vote in Pennsylvania."
