The summer of 1864 was a roller coaster for Lincoln thats agreed. But Grant pinning Lee down at Petersburg and Sherman capturing Atlanta gave a lot of hope to those wanting to see the war through to victory. I think his reelection showed that the people of the North were now firmly on his side in all this. Five months after his reelection Lee surrenders. It gave him a tremendous boost. One he could have used to fight for his post war plans.
