My History Can Beat Up Your Politics   /     THE 1848 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: PART 2 - PENNSYLVANIA IS THE KEY BATTLE-GROUND, THE "BONE AND SINEW" OF THE ELECTION

Description

The "bone and sinew" in Pennsylvania, the voters there, would determine the election of Zachary Taylor or Cass. So said the candidate Zachary Taylor himself. In the final part of our two-party series on the 1848 Presidential Election, we look at stump speeches, the third party Free Soilers, Stephen Douglas speaking for Democratic candidate Lewis Cass and Abraham Lincoln touting Zachary Taylor. We hear stories from newspapers and a budding author starts to ply his trade with a diversion into political satire.
