SUMMARY:The Presidential Election of 1864
DESCRIPTION:The American Civil War Museum–Appomattox is pleased to host a special program presented by the Appomattox Petersburg Preservation Society on May 19\, 2026. \n\n\n\n\n5 PM: ACWM–Appomattox exhibits will be open free of charge for guided tours led by Appomattox Petersburg Preservation Society staff.\n\n\n\n6:30 PM: Special Program ‘The Presidential Election of 1864‘\n\n\n\n\nThis presentation examines the presidential election of 1864\, a contest held under the extraordinary pressures of civil war and one that would profoundly influence the nation’s future. More than a political contest between Abraham Lincoln and George B. McClellan\, the election became a referendum on war\, peace\, emancipation\, constitutional liberty\, and the meaning of Union itself. Through an analysis of party divisions\, wartime dissent\, civil liberties\, soldier voting\, and the broader political climate of the era\, this program explores how the election shaped the closing phase of the Civil War and the memory of the figures involved. \n\n\n\nThe program is led by Shannah B. Winchester\, history interpreter specializing in Civil War education and public history at Sailor’s Creek Battlefield Historical State Park. She completed certification from Columbia University on the American Civil War. Her current research focuses on the legacy of General George B. McClellan\, and she is writing a book centered on his role and reputation during the events at Harrison’s Landing in 1862.
