		However, for the two conventions prior to 1868 ( 1860 and 1864) held in Chicago, and indeed, for many of the national conventions held afterwards, one had to rely on the parties' platforms for any mention of African Americans.
		In Chicago, the Republican National Committee defeated the "lily whitism" of Southern delegates to the national convention, and also required that African Americans be admitted to state and district conventions.

		Oh, and this will be the first time the Republicans have held a national convention in New York City.

		Jaligard claims that the president (who, according to him, decides where the convention will be held) is using the deaths of 3,000 people, which he failed to prevent (another way of saying he caused) to promote the convention, and therefore, his reelection bid.

	An historical analysis of the apportionment of delegate votes at the National Conventions of the two major parties
		In the very first Republican Convention, the District of Columbia was allowed to send 3 delegates to that Convention- this was reduced to 2 for 1860 (in keeping with the reduction of the size of GOP delegations generally that year, as noted above).
		When the first Democratic National Convention was held to choose the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates for the 1832 Election, the delegate apportionment among the States was very simple: it was equal to the number of Electoral Votes each State would have in the upcoming General Election.
		By the end of the Republican Convention, a minimum of 1,034 delegates (a majority) will have voted for the Republican nominee for President; likewise, by the end of the Democratic Convention, a minimum of some 2,170 delegates (a majority) will have voted for the Democratic nominee for President.

	Origins of the American Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conservatives at the Republican 1860 nominating convention in Chicago were able to block the nomination of William Seward, who had an earlier reputation as a radical (but by 1860 had been criticized by Horace Greeley as being too moderate).
		In this sense, the Republican platform that elected Abraham Lincoln in 1860 was touted as a "marriage of iron and rye." The Civil War has been called a "second American revolution." To an extent, after all, the elections of 1860 bolstered the political power of new social forces unleashed by the Industrial Revolution.
		As the schism in the Democratic party deepened, moderate Republicans argued that an alliance with anti-administration Democrats, especially Stephen Douglas, would be a key advantage in the 1860 elections.
