After reading "Team of Rivals" (by Doris Kearns Goodwin), I was under the impression that there were four main candidates, Chase, Seward, Bates, and Lincoln. Isn't that true? PRhyu14:29, 14 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

In Goodwins "Team of Rivals" she states that (at least as far as 1860 is concerned) Bates was NOT a member of the Republican Party, being unwilling to give up on the old Whig party: "Though Bates acknowledged he had never officially joined the Republican Party, he understood that many Republicans,...." (page 26) it goes on to say many thought his nomination would be good for winning the election (that's paraphrased obviously), but I think that it is clear he wasn't a Republican, at least in 1860 during the nomination.Vyselink (talk) 04:32, 2 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

The section on Bates's time as attorney general does not seem like it accurately reflects him, at least from what I've read in Goodwin's Team of Rivals. For instance, the section currently says that he "disagreed with Lincoln on emancipation and the recruitment of blacks into the Union Army" when discussing the progression of Abraham Lincoln's presidency. While it is true that he initially held that view, he was the second cabinet member (Edwin Stanton was the first) to voice complete support for the measure because he believed it would help bring about a faster end to the war. Where are any sources backing up the negative view of Bates's time as attorney general? I think it would be better to add these details which paint a different picture of Bates than the one that currently is up.
It's pretty good, and has a pretty good resource ("Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin and the Biographies) but it's not very good, lacks detail and just looks at some of the main events of his life, which don't even include his death, early life, or anything. I'd put it at the Start level.PRhyu11:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
