Clement Vallandigham, an Ohio opponent of the Civil War and of
abolition, was thrown out of the country by Abraham Lincoln because
of his political views. As a result of his banishment, Vallandigham
became a martyr to his cause and was nominated for governor by the
Democratic Party in 1863. He ran the race from exile. The stakes in
this colorful campaign were enormous, and Lincoln was highly
involved, worrying that a Vallandigham victory would be seen as a
rejection of the war by voters. That could have been devastating to
the Union cause. It also would likely have made Vallandigham-a
former congressman from Dayton-a presidential prospect. This book
tells the story of a unique event in American history: a
president-significantly, Lincoln-banishing a leading opponent, with
that opponent then being nominated by a major party for high office
in an important state.
