The Elections And War Era Politics Note
In a wartime political sketch a two party frame is described with Union or Republican victory and Copperhead opposition. Illinois, Wisconsin, New York, and Maryland show strong Union gains and repudiation of copperhead influence. A shot at abolition of slavery and a Pacific railroad discussion follows, with notes on Colfax’s Indianapolis talk and President Lincoln era sentiment.
