Emancipation, the Union Army, and the Reelection of Abraham Lincoln

The Union army’s overwhelming vote for Abraham Lincoln’s reelection in 1864 has led many Civil War scholars to conclude that the soldiers supported the Republican Party and its effort to abolish slavery. However a considerable number of soldiers rejected the Republican platform and Lincoln’s views on slavery, ultimately revising many commonly held assumptions about the Civil War and providing a deeper understanding of the Union Army.
