General Election
With Lincoln very popular,victory was inevitable for the Republicans. Lincoln set fourth a plan for "rapid reconstruction",This angered Southerners. He also set fourth a plan to exile the rest of the Confederate leaders,something he was pushing for at the end of his last term,while some Republicans wanted them hanged. He also mentioned his plans to "Migrate African-Americans to the West,were they can start new lives and be safe and prosperous" Pierce called to end reconstruction which he said was "A detriment on states rights", Pierce also said that leaders of the CSA should not be punished,but "We're fighting brothers because they felt there rights were being infringed on,not because they were traitors". This made Pierce very popular in the South,but not so much in the North. Pierce constantly attacked Lincoln for the fact that he ever had the country go to war at the first place saying "True Leadership would have made the war never occur",Lincoln said it was many mistakes from past administrations. Lincoln attacked Pierces record when he was president saying "He was one of the worse leaders our country has ever seen,and now he thinks he can just come in here and think everything in his past is erased,that is not the truth!"
Election Day
