for most of the existence of the court, geographic diversity was a key concern of presidents in choosing justices to appoint. this was prompted in part by the early practice of supreme court justices also "riding circuit"—individually hearing cases in different regions of the country. in 1789, the united states was divided into judicial circuits, and from that time until 1891, supreme court justices also acted as judges within those individual circuits. george washington was careful to make appointments "with no two justices serving at the same time hailing from the same state". abraham lincoln broke with this tradition during the civil war, and "by the late 1880s presidents disregarded it with increasing frequency".
