The Lincolns campaign was helped in no small part by a family from New Hampshire, the Granite
State, called the Hutchinson Family [G] Singers.
They were ardent abolitionists.
They were absolutely outspoken about their beliefs.
Obviously, not everybody agreed with them.
In fact, I think that the Hutchinson Family Singers were the predecessors of groups in
America like the Almanacs, the Weavers, Peter, Paul, and Mary.
[Eb] The Hutchinsons wrote a song called Lincoln and Liberty.
It was a campaign song for Abraham Lincoln.
That song helped Lincoln win the presidency.
