Abraham Lincoln Republican Abraham Lincoln National Union The 1864 United States presidential election in Tennessee took place on November 8, 1864, as part of the 1864 United States presidential election.

Tennessee voted for the National Union candidate, incumbent Republican President Abraham Lincoln.

The state (along with Louisiana) chose electors for the election after being captured early in the American Civil War.

However, due to issues related to the Civil War, their votes were rejected.

The Chicago Tribune reported that about 30,000 votes were cast for Lincoln and 5,000 for Democratic candidate George B. McClellan, but that many ballot boxes were destroyed by Confederate guerrillas and thus the exact number was not known.
