539 Nevada a state: In his Recollections of the Civil War (New York: D. Appleton & Co., 1898), pp. 174177, Charles A. Dana remembered that Lincoln had actively promoted the statehood of Nevada, primarily to secure additional votes in the next session of Congress for the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery and that he had liberally distributed patronage to persuade Democrats to vote for admission. But Earl S. Pomeroy, "Lincoln, the Thirteenth Amendment, and the Admission of Nevada," Pacific Historical Review 12 (1943), 362368, points out numerous errors in Dana's account and shows (p. 367) "there is no reason to suppose that Nevada was a favorite project of Lincoln or that he viewed it with great warmth."
