Lincoln was renominated, the Union Army took Atlanta and speeded to further victories, Lincoln was re-elected. Crass patronage politics was part of how the war was won and the Union saved. 5/x — PolitiTweet.org

In summer 1864, Lincoln faced dissent from more radical Republicans. They hoped to replace him with Secretary of the Treasury Chase. Chase had a preferred candidate at the Customs House. So Lincoln dangled that appointment to deter Chase from challenging him. 4/x — PolitiTweet.org

I am sure there were people writing in 1864, "Democracy is in danger. President Lincoln should invoke patriotism, not the patronage politics, to make that point." Lincoln knew otherwise. 6/x — PolitiTweet.org
