1. In 1864, Mr Lincoln ran for re-election as the candidate of The National Union Party . . .

Though he remained allied with the Republican Party, Mr Lincoln ran as the National Union candidate both because there were some major Republican leaders who opposed his re-nomination, and because Mr Lincoln wished to appeal to a bi-partisan coalition, so he might effect a more evenhanded Reconstruction.

The world is infinitely more complex, and history far less rigid, than is readily admitted to by those with simple minds.

2. As a side note, John C. Calhoun plantation is the home of Clemson University.

The graves of plantation slaves have recently been rediscovered. I wonder how the university has honored them?
