“There were no Republican candidates in 1864.”

Lincoln (R) vs McClellan (D)
Wanted to win war (R) vs Wanted to fight to a draw (D)

Some things never change.

I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you if you really believe that. Everybody knew Lincoln was a Republican running for re-election at the head of the ticket. He put Andrew Johnson, a southerner and a Democrat, in the VP slot and called it the National Union ticket since the war was still threatening to end in stalemate that summer.

Little did he know then that (1)the election wasn't even going to be close and (2)the affable but incompetent Andrew Johnson would ascend to the presidency a mere six weeks into his second term.
