In the 1864 Presidential Election, McClellan ran as the democratic candidate. He actually won in NJ, and later became its governor.

BTW, part of NJ is below the Mason/ Dixon Line.

Just speaking from personal family history, 5 of my great great uncles fought in that war. Two for the Confederacy and three for the Union. One died in Andersonville, two died at the Battle of the 7 Day battle of the Wilderness (one for the CSA, the other for the USA) The other two both came home.

the similarities between 1864 and now politically are amazing to me. the fact that almost no one remembers what the dems said and did is incouraging. i dont think 100 years from now they will record the dems anti-war stance either. they will remember Bush.
