The American Civil War Mr. Contipodero

 Have you ever voted or gone with your parents to vote?  Have you ever seen commercials for individuals running for office?

 How do you think people choose who they vote for?  Do you have concerns or beliefs as a citizen of the United States?

 This candidate is the incumbent. He is a lawyer and former Congressman. His election four years ago brought on a war that the country has been fighting ever since. The war is not going well but he is determined to keep fighting until one side or the other has won. If your country wins, he has no plans to punish your enemy, but instead wants to help them recover economic stability as soon as possible. He is strongly in favor of civil rights.

 Formerly the general commanding your forces in this war until Candidate 1 dismissed him. He was very popular with your troops and many people say that if he were still in command the war would not be going so badly. Still, he is campaigning on a peace platform. If he wins, his party wants to negotiate a truce with your enemy and stop the war. He is not against civil rights, but he is not as strongly in favor of it as Candidate 1. Your country has just won a big battle and it looks like you could win this war after all.

 What do you think might have happened had Lincoln not been re-elected?

 "This morning, as for some days past, it seems exceedingly probable that this Administration will not be re-elected. Then it will be my duty to so cooperate with the President-elect as to save the Union between the election and the inauguration; as he will have secured his election on such grounds that he cannot possibly save it afterwards."

 The fall of Atlanta – September 1864  Republicans abandoned replacement candidate for Lincoln  Lincoln = 212 electoral votes  McClellan = 21 electoral votes

 What emotion is Lincoln evoking in his address?  What are Lincoln’s general feelings toward the war?  What would Lincoln like to see happen at the end of the war?  As a citizen of the U.S. in 1864 how would you have responded to this speech?
