Abstract
1864 is a presidential election year, a dangerous and depressing time for the embattled president whose nomination by his party and re-election by the American people are in question. With George McClellan as his Democratic opponent, the entire Union war effort will be a campaign issue. The fact that Atlanta falls to Sherman during the campaign, and Lincoln makes sure that Union soldiers have ballots and a chance to vote, contribute to Lincoln's convincing victory. The election is a turning point, as Lincoln calls on Congress to pass the Thirteenth Amendment and sets the tone for Reconstruction in his second inaugural address.
