60 JONATHAN W WHITE - THE ELECTION OF 1864

Historian and author Jonathan White examines the presidential election of 1864, explaining the process by which candidates were elected, the choices posed by the political parties and how votes were cast by voters in their states and by soldiers. Dr. White does an extraordinary job of painting the picture of how voters responded.

@ 31:42 I wish Dr. White had said more about elections run under military bayonets. I am curious specifically where this happened and if this had any effect on the outcome of the presidential election.
