    Chapter 26: We Are Going To Be Wiped Off the Earth

    After Sherman's attack and victory, newspapers praised him. Meanwhile, McClellan was accepting
    the Democratic nomination. Peace Democrats were angered that he had betrayed them. On the
    Republican side, Lincoln was now a victorious leader.

    Warfare along the Kansas-Missouri border continued through 1864. The conflict between border
    ruffians and Jayhawkers increased more and more. Guerrilla fighting led to a form of terrorism and
    many were killed, land was burned, and many things were destroyed. Just like Sheridan had in the
    Shenandoah Valley, Jayhawkers initiated a scorched-earth policy against rebel sympathizers.
    Guerrilla bands in Missouri were the origin of outlaw gangs that would form after the war had
    ended.

    Union soldiers were given the chance to vote and twelve states allowed soldier ballots to be
    tabulated separately. Lincoln got 78% of the votes & was re-elected for a second term.
