When people think of Oklahoma, they usually think about flatlands and waving wheat. The thought of terrorism would never come into mind. This is exactly what the people of Oklahoma City would’ve been thinking if asked about terrorism. Sadly, on the day of April 19, 1995, Oklahoma and the nation was shocked as the unthinkable happened. The rest of the world stood still, and watched as people were rushed from the building. Families received information about their loved ones, and soon learned that they were no longer living. Parents were also sickened by the fact that their children would never be able to go to daycare again. As for the man in charge of this operation, his slow but authorized death was watched by families and friends of the victims. The rest of the nation should’ve been able to view this great punishment along with the families who were affected.

They stated that restoration of the Union was not a prerequisite of a peace treaty. Their peace platform suffered from horrendous timing, only spreading after the capture of Atlanta, Georgia. The Democratic party chose General George B. McClellan as their candidate. General McClellan was a general that Lincoln dismissed after he underestimated the Confederate forces and caused heavy losses. McClellan tried to dismiss the Democratic party's claims that the restoration of the Union was not necessary to the peace treaty. This upset the military voters greatly, giving Lincoln the majority of absentee votes

Christopher Johnson Mccandless, an intelligent young man, dies while trying to live in Alaska; by choice. The death of Mccandless was a controversial matter: people argued their thoughts on Mccandless’ story, and who's to blame for Mccandless' death.

However, it is a mixture of all these, with Mccandless being the most at fault. Mccandless might have had choices, but there were things he couldn’t control, neither can anyone else.

General McClellan was a famous general during the civil war who lead the Army of the Potomac. President Lincoln wanted him to move forward towards Richmond but General McClellan would hold back until he was finally ordered to move. Him being removed can be considered a loss but it also was a victory for the people back in Washington. George McClellan was somewhat of a perfectionist he would not do anything till the time he didn't have it all figured out, also he was never sure and doubted himself. Another thing that caused him issues is that he overestimated the abilities and manpower of his enemies.

When Lincoln interacted with Scott, he showed a deference for Scott’s age and knowledge. Thus allowing Scott to share his skills, this humility was shored by General McClellan. Lincoln later changes his approach towards McClellan, trying to boost his confidence and courage. Williams continually shows McClellan as an egotist, who eventually replaced Scott as General in chief. McClellan is depicted as unsure, indecisive, self-centered and fearful of declaring war. Lincoln continually defends McClellan but is not afraid of tactfully sending criticism his way. One could easily be lead to believe that Lincoln was more of a placator. Williams shows us that Lincoln never hesitated in making difficult decisions based on results. Lincoln’s people skills are easily ascertained in Williams writings. Lincoln seems keen at applying pressure as well as giving his generals a free hand when necessary.

Lincoln wanted an aggressive general and wanted him to challenge the opponent in a fast-paced battle, but

By 1864 after three bloody and inconclusive years of war, many in the North were fed up with the struggle and wanted peace. For this reason, in the election of 1864 was a close race, with Lincoln winning reelection by only a small margin. The Democrats, who demanded peace, nominated George McClellan to run against Lincoln, the Republican candidate. McClellan was a popular general whom Lincoln had fired in 1862 for failing in his duties. But with Lincoln's leadership waning, McClellan attacked the president's handling of the war, and even questioned its goals. Lincoln eventually resorted to somewhat nefarious tactics. For instance, in swing states he released soldiers from their duties on election day hoping they would go to the polls to vote

On August 23, 1864 Lincoln had wrote in a memorandum, “This morning, as for some days past, it seems exceedingly probable that this administration will not be re-elected. Then it will be my duty so cooperate with the president-elect as to save the union between the election and the inauguration: as he will have secured his election on such grounds that he cannot possibly save it afterwards.” Lincoln didn’t have too much faith in himself and that it will be a new president at the end of the election. It was looking good for McClellan because it seemed everything was going in his favor to win the election and not carry out the
