The 1864 Election p. 379

Lincoln did not like his own chances for re-election in

1864 because: his party was divided

Shermans capture of Atlanta on September 2 helped

turn the tide. Lincoln won 55 percent of the vote and secured a

mandate for his policy of unconditional surrender.

Lincolns Second Inaugural Address With malice toward none, with charity for all, with

firmness in the right as God gives us to see the

right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in,

to bind up the nations wounds, to care for him

who shall have borne the battle and for his widow

and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and

cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselvesand with all nations.

Abraham Lincoln toured Richmond, the Confederate capital, just hours after Jefferson Davis had

fled. This photograph, taken April 4, 1865, shows Yankee cavalry horses in the foreground, and the

smoldering city in the background. It gives a sense of the devastation suffered by the South and theimmense task of rebuilding and reconciliation that Lincoln did not live to accomplish.SOURCE:Library of Congress.
