The Lincoln campaign started in June partly to get jump any other Republican who was looking to replace him. Lincoln&#039;s main opponent was John C. Fremont. At this time 157 years ago, many people, including Lincoln, did not think that he would be re-elected.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an 1864 Fremont piece where his supporters, and perhaps even he, brag about his qualifications for the job.
