22 août 1864 - President Lincoln was re- elected
Description:
President Lincoln's Reelection. Despite progress in the war, Lincoln and most political pundits were convinced that he would lose his bid for reelection in 1864. The country was war weary and the Democratic Party's nominee, George McClellan, was likely to negotiate a peace treaty with the Confederacy if elected.Source:
