The outlook for the re-nomination and re-election of President Abraham Lincoln does not appear promising.
The nearly three-year-old Civil War continues to rage and many Northerners shake their heads in disbelief as their sons continue to die by the thousands each month on Southern battlefields. They doubt Republican Lincoln’s ability to bring hostilities to a peaceful close.
