The election of 1864
8 Nov 1864 — In the middle of a civil war, the Union votes. Lincoln takes 55% and 212 electoral votes; soldiers vote overwhelmingly for the man who will not let them stop short of victory. No nation had held a free election in wartime like it.
This is one scene of Chapter 9 — The Ballot and the March in The American Civil War, 1861–1865.
