The GOP would still hold the majority, 116-102.
Thank you.
My memory was that it would have been close.
It would have; there were also a large number of third party people, including quite a few Independent Democrats, so I think the Democrats would have had a majority, but I'm not sure.
My recollection (this is from about twenty years ago) is that with the "others" the Democrats would have had a razor thin control of the house and control of the senate.
An professor of American history had suggested that Lincoln deliberately provoked sucession of the outer south states to gain control of congress.
