Historical Context:
Hannibal Hamlin (1809–1891) served as the 15th Vice President of the United States under Abraham Lincoln during his first term (1861–1865). A staunch abolitionist and former U.S. Senator from Maine, Hamlin was a key figure in the formation of the Republican Party and a committed opponent of slavery's expansion. Although replaced by Andrew Johnson on the 1864 ticket, Hamlin remained active in politics, returning to the Senate and later serving as U.S. Minister to Spain. His political career spanned pivotal decades in American history, and his role as Lincoln’s original vice president links him to one of the nation's most transformative presidencies.
