Actually,

America was at war in eighteen sixty-four. The Union of northern states was fighting the Confederacy of southern states. Each had its own constitution.

Under the Union constitution, a national president was to be elected every four years. Eighteen sixty-four was such an election year. And even though a great civil war was being fought, citizens of the north prepared to choose a leader.
