How might the nations history be different if William Tecumseh Sherman had failed to capture Atlanta before the 1864 election?
If William Tecumseh Sherman had failed to capture Atlanta before the 1864 election, it could have significantly altered the course of the Civil War and its aftermath. The loss of this key victory might have bolstered the Democratic Party, which was advocating for peace and negotiations with the Confederacy, potentially leading to a shift in public sentiment and a different outcome in the election. The reelection of Abraham Lincoln was crucial for maintaining the Union's commitment to victory; without Atlanta, Lincoln's chances could have diminished, possibly prolonging the war and delaying the eventual abolition of slavery. This scenario might have resulted in a more fragmented post-war America, with a different trajectory for Reconstruction.

Why did president Lincoln believe the copperheads were a threat to the union war effort?
The Copperheads were a group of Northern Democrats who opposed the American Civil War, wanting an immediate peace settlement with the Confederates. They were also called Peace Democrats, because they were in favor of a compromise peace. The Confederates believed that if they could prolong the war, and cause enough war-weariness in the North, Lincoln could lose the 1864 election. If so, the South might gain its independence. Unfortunately for the Copperheads, the fall of Atlanta in September 1864 meant that the Radical Republicans prevailed, and Lincoln was re-elected. By the time of his assassination on April 15, 1865, the war was essentially over.
