Why a team of “rivals?”

Bates, Chase, and Seward had run against Lincoln for the Republican nomination in 1860.

Seward had been expected to win the nomination. Chase and Bates had seen themselves as the next in

line. And, as we all know, none of them won. They were united by anti-slavery sentiment. Lincoln wanted to keep his friends close and his

enemies closer
