  The Republican party had a hard time in the 1862 mid term elections, but they gained strongly in 1864. So, yes, the Republicans has a huge majority after the 1864 elections.

  This does not change my argument about what would have happened if the northern people had rejected Mr. Lincoln in the 1864 election. I would maintain that in that case, the huge Republican majority would not have been elected either. :)
