The person who won the 1864 presidential election was Abraham Lincoln.
The 1864 election worried US President Lincoln. In fact, due to the length and loss of life in the war, there were even rumors that the Republican Party might nominate another candidate. Many historians would cite the Union victory in Atlanta Georgia, in the Summer of 1864, as a turning point in favor of Lincoln's re-nomination and subsequent reelection in November.
The capture of Atlanta, Georgia, and then the capture of Savannah, Georgia, and the Battle of Cedar Creek, Virginia, were all important factors. Additionally, General Sherman's victory in Atlanta helped Abraham Lincoln win re-election in 1864.
