Democrats were split on the US Civil War. For example, President Lincoln named Democrat Andrew Johnson as his running mate for 1864. Other Democrats were now against the US Civil War and sought to end it peacefully and with dignity. The peace movement in the 1864 Democratic Party was led by Fernando Wood, the former New York City mayor who was horrified when Lincoln won the 1860 presidential election and by a former congressman from Ohio, Clement Vallandigham.
