1860–61 United States House of Representatives elections

The 1860–61 United States House of Representatives elections took place between August 6, 1860, and October 24, 1861 to elect 180 representatives and seven non-voting delegates to the 37th United States Congress. The Republican Party lost seats but gained a majority in the chamber following the withdrawal of the representatives from the Confederate States of America.

Speaker before election William Pennington Republican Elected Speaker Galusha A. Grow Republican

The Republicans were the largest party in the House following the 1858–59 United States House of Representatives elections. The Republican victory in the 1860 United States presidential election precipitated the secession of 11 slave states between December 1860 and June 1861. Secession interrupted elections for the 37th Congress, which had already taken place in 15 Union states and three states now part of the Confederacy. Confederate states sent 68 representatives to the 36th United States Congress; the withdrawal of these members was largely to the detriment of the Democratic Party, which lost nearly half its seats. Unionists in the border states and loyal parts of the Confederacy won 22 seats, while Kentucky's Henry C. Burnett was the only secessionist elected to the United States House of Representatives.

The Constitutional Union Party won four seats, including two from Rhode Island, where Democrats and conservative Republicans formed the governing coalition. A coalition of Republicans and Constitutional Unionists carried the single seat representing Delaware's at-large congressional district, while one independent Democrat was elected in New York.

Republicans lost seats in special elections held in the spring of 1861. The absence of the representatives from the Confederacy enabled the Republican majority to elect the speaker and other officers without the support of other parties. Galusha A. Grow was elected after shifts on the first ballot over fellow Republican Francis P. Blair, Jr.; the Democratic minority split their votes between 12 minor candidates.

Background

Secession

Sixty-five seats were vacant when the 37th Congress met on July 4, 1861, following the secession of the Confederacy. Three states which later seceded (Arkansas, Florida, and South Carolina) held elections in 1860, electing seven Democrats and two independents who subsequently declined to take their seats. Several unionist districts in Tennessee and Virginia elected representatives who were seated along with the rest of the incoming class. These were the only congressional elections held south of the border states before the beginning of Congress. Several districts under Union Army control held special elections after July 4, but only two Louisiana Unionists were seated.

Confederate states had sent 46 Democrats, eight Opposition members, six Whigs, five Independent Democrats, and one Know Nothing to the 36th Congress. The loss of these representatives significantly diminished the size of the House to the benefit of the Republicans, who gained a majority in the chamber for the first time in their history.

Loyal slave states sent 15 Unionists and five Democrats to the 37th Congress. Four parties elected one representative each from the border states: Republican Francis P. Blair Jr. from Missouri's 1st congressional district, Constitutional Unionist James S. Rollins from Missouri's 2nd congressional district, People's representative George P. Fisher from Delaware's at-large district, and Southern Rights representative Henry C. Burnett from Kentucky's 1st congressional district.

End of a Congressional era

Columbia switches Stephen A. Douglas as Uncle Sam looks on approvingly. Early returns in Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana showed good prospects for Republicans in the upcoming federal elections

In 1860, Lincoln's campaign brought the Republicans the Presidency. Likewise, the congressional elections also marked the transition from one major era of political parties to another. In just six years, over the course of the 35th, 36th–37th Congresses, a complete reversal of party fortunes swamped the Democrats.

Elections for Congress were held from August 1860 to June 1861. They were held before, during and after the pre-determined Presidential campaign. And they were held before, during and after the secessionist campaigns in various states as they were reported throughout the country. Political conditions varied hugely from time to time during the course of congressional selection, but they had been shifting to a considerable extent in the years running up to the crisis.

In the 1856 elections, the Democrats had taken the Presidency for the sixth time in the last 40 years, with James Buchanan's victory over John C. Fremont and Millard Fillmore. They held almost a two-thirds majority in both the US House and Senate. Democrats held onto the Senate during the midterm elections, but the four opposition parties then amounted to two-thirds of the House. The congressional elections in 1860 transformed Democratic fortunes: Republican and Unionist candidates won a two-thirds majority in both House and Senate.

After the secessionist withdrawal, resignation and expulsion, the Democrats would have less than 25% of the House for the 37th Congress, and that minority divided further between pro-war (Stephen Douglas), and anti-war (Clement Vallandigham) factions.

Results by region

Historians of the Civil War era subdivide the Northern United States into upper and lower regions. The Lower North (also called the Border North) is normally defined as the free states sharing a border with one or more slave states; in 1860, this included Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The remaining free states—New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont), Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and Wisconsin—constituted the Upper North. During the 1850s, the Upper North was solidly Republican, while the Lower North's population included large numbers of immigrants and the descendants of White Southerners favorable to the Democratic Party. The Southern United States was split between the Upper South, which included the border states (Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri) and the Middle South (Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia), and the Lower South, comprising the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas. In 1861, the Lower South states were the first to secede, while the Middle South and the border states remained in limbo. California and Oregon, on the West Coast of the United States, were geographically isolated from the rest of the country.

Tennessee seceded on June 8, 1861, and held elections for the Confederate States Congress on August 1. In four districts including parts of unionist East Tennessee, the Unionist candidates pledged to serve in the United States Congress if elected. (The Confederacy seated the losing secessionist candidates from these districts.) In the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd districts, some voters marked their ballots "for U.S. Congress only;" these votes are counted separately below. Ultimately, three Tennessee Unionists were seated by the House; a fourth, Thomas A. R. Nelson, was elected but was captured by the Confederacy en route to Washington to take his seat.
