The inquiry calls for some notice of
political conditions that made the
North largely Republican and the
South largely Democratic. Before the
slavery question became acute. there
was little sectional politics in the
country. Grant and Logan. in Illinois,
were Democrats, and they became
Republicans only because they were
abolitionists and that was the anti
slavery party. For the same reason
Alexander II. Stephens and Bob
Tocmbs. in the South. found the Dem
ocratic party the only agency to fight
the abolitiOnist determination TO de-
stroy the Union if it did not abolish
slavery. In those days party creeds
with very many people were lost sight
OF and in the North the abolition
sentiment carried many old-tihae Dem
ocrats into the Republican party,
