Abraham Lincoln 1864 Election Campaign Wall Poster

Oh dear. Leading up to President Abraham Lincoln's re-election in 1864, Honest Abe's campaign staff encouraged local political party offices to emphasize how Lincoln was the man to save the Union and should be sent back to the White House to win the Civil War and finish the job. They didn't specifically say how to phrase that last bit, leading some smaller National Union Party offices to concoct one of the worst campaign slogans in presidential history: "Give Abe Another Shot!" Technically, the campaign worked as Lincoln defeated Democrat George B. McClellan. Sadly, Lincoln was shot and killed six weeks later. Most of the campaign posters were destroyed, but now, exclusively through ThenWear, you can own this rare, original, and tragically funny Abraham Lincoln election campaign artwork on a full-color poster.
