They kept voting via ballot on this election and it was on the 10th ballot that Lincoln decided to get his then only 15 supporters to switch over to Trumbull. It is interesting to read the same account from two historians. Lincoln was graceful in defeat and was smart to switch his loyalists over to Trumbull but he did not sacrifice as much as your post states. 30 of his supporters had switched over to Trumbull before he even asked them to. He did however gain the eventual support of guys like Judd & Palmer & even Trumbull in his eventual rise to power. I love history.

Paul, and other apostles, sacrificed everything for the sake of the cross. Jesus himself told the rich young ruler to sell everything he had and give the money to the poor, then come follow Him. Let's not forget, "Let the dead bury their own." Expert analysis as always my friend. 15 days. Z Isn’t that what were called to do as Christians as well.
