Did Abe Lincoln win the popular vote?
Lincoln won the second-lowest share of the popular vote among all winning presidential candidates in U.S. history. The Republican victory resulted from the concentration of votes in the free states, which together controlled a majority of the presidential electors.
Why did Lincoln chose Andrew Johnson as VP?
In 1864, Johnson was a logical choice as running mate for Lincoln, who wished to send a message of national unity in his re-election campaign; and became vice president after a victorious election in 1864. He did not win the 1868 Democratic presidential nomination and left office the following year.
