Wrong!
The Red States (Confederate) just won't participate!

The U.S. presidential election of 1864 was conducted during the Civil War, and as such the Confederate states did not participate. The war was taking a heavy toll in terms of lives and resources, and as such incumbent President Abraham Lincoln was seen as vulnerable. Republicans across the country were jittery over the summer—but that was before the Democrats had their to confront their severe internal strains at their convention. With William Tecumseh Sherman marching inexorably toward Atlanta, and Ulysses S. Grant pushing Lee into the inner defenses of Richmond, it became increasingly obvious that Union victory was inevitable.
