How did Confederate President Jefferson Davis attempt to influence the 1864 US presidential elections?
ChuckSiata
In the Spring and Summer of 1864, President Jefferson Davis believed that he could influence the US presidential elections and have President Abraham Lincoln defeated at the polls. Davis sent agents to the North and Canada to negotiate with Northern peace groups and to work for the release of Confederate POW's. He also had these agents attempt to bribe Union newspapers to editorialize for a peace agreement between the North and South. These attempts yielded no results but it cost Davis very little so he attempted it.
