it took him from springfield to washington, and it took him to many northern cities, towns and hamlets as will the state capitals along the way. he stopped here in jersey to address the legislature. new jersey was the only northern state that lincoln did not when in the popular vote. he actually won the electoral college by a margin of 4-3. so, he understood that not all of the members of the new jersey legislature were supportive. by the time he arrived here, seven states have party ly seceded from the union and there was a confederate president in place. so, lincoln had two reasons for stopping. one, he wanted to be a tourist. he understood how important trenton was for the winning of the american revolution and he liked george washington. he made reference to that in his speech to the legislature. of course, the second reason was a more political reason. that is the pending conflict, which of course, which was the american civil war. what is interesting about lincoln's visit to new jersey is in the other state capitals, he actually addressed a concurrent, or joint sessions of the le
