descriptionPage 428
prior to the opening of Congress in December, Buchanan was reported to have threatened political reprisal if Douglas fought the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, an administration measure.

Lincoln's view of party strategy was not generally followed, most Republican leaders supporting Douglas.
