Sunday February 9 – “You think I don’t know I am going to be beaten, but I do and unless some great change takes place beaten badly!”— Abraham Lincoln and the Election of 1864
John Nicholas, Gettysburg National Military Park
The 1864 Presidential election may have been the most contentious, and at the same time the most crucial, election in American history. The war was going badly with no end in sight, there were doubts that Abraham Lincoln would even be nominated, much less reelected. Even his own party believed he would lose reelection. How did Lincoln beat the odds? Find out during this exciting program!
