The first vice president under Abraham Lincoln, Hannibal Hamlin, narrowly lost the presidency, having been replaced as vice president by Andrew Johnson just a month before Lincoln’s assassination.
A Republican like Lincoln unlike Johnson, Hannibal Hamlin was relatively unpopular with the people and Lincoln, the latter of whom removed him from his 1860 re-election ticket in favor of the southerner Johnson.
However, even after his term as vice president ended, Hannibal Hamlin had quite an interesting career as a senator, collector of Boston Harbor, and foreign ambassador before retiring.
