Note 71 — Chapter III · EDMUND BURKE AND THE ARGUMENT FROM CIRCUMSTANCE
Reading edition
Most of Lincoln’s associates in Illinois—including David Davis, Orville H. Browning, John M. Palmer, Lyman Trumbull, Leonard Swett, and Ward Hill Lamon—who had been ardent Republicans before the war, left the party in the years following. See David Donald, Lincoln’s Herndon (New York, 1948), p. 263.
