Many have never heard that he was opposed for re-election by those in his own party. There was Chase, who put his face on the first Greenback money ($1 bill), but Lincoln got the $10 bill. Then Fremont claimed the nomination early. Lincoln now became the nominee of the National Union ticket. He would be opposed by a general campaigning on the Peace platform. Come and hear the twists, politicking, and all the insights of a knock-down, drag out fight, with the election hinging on Union victories in battle. All of this was six months before Lee surrendered.
