1864 Lincoln & Johnson Ohio Union Presidential Ticket
Presented is an original Ohio Union Presidential ticket for the November 8, 1864 election. The paper ticket is printed in orange-red and blue. The front of the ticket reads, "A Vigorous Prosecution of the War, and No Compromise Under the Guns of Rebels", surrounded by an spreadwing eagle, American flags, swords, a cannon, and a drum. The candidates are displayed as “For President, Abraham Lincoln of Illinois” and “For Vice President, Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee.” The names of the state’s 21 electors are then listed below, by district.
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.
