1864 Lincoln & Johnson Boston Union Presidential Ticket
Presented is an original Massachusetts Union Presidential ticket for the November 8, 1864 election. The paper ticket is printed in black, headed by a large spreadwing eagle carrying an American flag in its talons. The candidates' names, “Lincoln & Johnson,” are displayed in a scrolling banner, weaving along the flag. The names of the state’s 12 electors are then listed below, by district. Following this is the party’s list of state and county candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of the Commonwealth, Treasurer and Receiver General, Auditor, Attorney-General, Councillor, County Commissioner and Treasurer, Register of Deeds, Senator and Congressman.
The National Union Party was created just before the general election of November 1864, when the Civil War was still in progress. It was the Republican Party's temporary name, used to attract War Democrats and border states, Unconditional Unionists, and Unionist Party members who would not vote for the Republican Party. The National Union Party nominated incumbent Republican President Abraham Lincoln and Democrat Andrew Johnson for Vice President, both who were elected in an electoral landslide. Lincoln ultimately defeated McClellan with 212 electoral college votes to McClellan’s 21 votes. Lincoln also won 55% of the popular vote.
