Lincoln's 1864 reelection was heavily bolstered by late-war Union military victories, such as Sherman's capture of Atlanta and Sheridan's successes in the Shenandoah Valley. These wins reassured Northern voters that the Union could end the Civil War, turning public opinion in Lincoln's favor. The Democratic candidate was seen as favoring a negotiated peace, which became less appealing as Union military fortunes improved.
