I agree with you, John. Trouble was brewing in the North.

On September 20, 1864, Thurlow Weed wrote to William Seward that opposition against Lincoln "was equally formidable and vicious, embracing a larger number of leading men than I supposed possible."

At the 1864 Democratic National Convention Benjamin Allen of New York said, "The people will soon rise, and if they cannot put Lincoln out of power by the ballot they will by the bullet."
