In the late summer of 1864 a veteran on furlough was asked whether the soldiers wanted Lincoln re-elected. “Why of course they do. We all re-enlisted to see this thing through and Old Abe must re-enlist too. He mustered us in and we'll be damned if he shan't stay where he is until he has mustered us out.”
