The election of 1864 was one of the most important elections in American history.
It has been 30 years since a president has been elected twice, and Lincoln almost lost the campaign if it wouldn't have been for Atlanta's fall. This came at a timely moment for Lincoln, who faced a tough reelection campaign.
