Tuesday November 8, 1864 was Election Day and Jefferson Davis believed that canvass would provide an opportunity for change in the execution of power and policy in Washington City. For Abraham Lincoln the event offered a chance to finish the task of preserving the Union. On this evening, we’ll take a look at the candidates, their campaigns and the fateful day that contributed mightily to the outcome of the war.
