Lincoln, Grant, and the 1864 Election
| LINCOLN, GRANT, AND THE 1864 ELECTION
|
During late 1863 Grant wrote of this enthusiasm for his potential candidacy:
"Nothing likely to happen would pain me so much as to see my name used in connection with a political office. I am not a candidate for any office nor for favors from any party. Let us succeed in crushing the rebellion in the shortest possible time, and I will be content with whatever credit may be given me, feeling assured that a just public will award all that is due."
