For most Southerners, the 1864 reelection of President Lincoln was a disaster. For the South, this meant that the political powers in the Union were a signal that the North was fixed on its determination to subjugate or destroy the Confederacy.The South believed that no honorable peace was now possible and thus many Confederates saw the continuation of the war as the only chance of survival.
