Maia Walls · Answer 1

D) the South's last hope to gain independence from the North.

Cameron Aguilar · Answer 2

C) just After the end of the civil war.

The 1864 election was the first time since 1812 that a presidential election took place during a war. For much of 1864, Lincoln himself believed he had little chance of being re-elected ... Because of this, McClellan was thought to be a heavy favorite to win the election.
