Medal, 1864, WM, ABRAHAM LINCOLN CAMPAIGN MEDAL, NO COMPROMISE WITH ARMED REBELS, A AFOE TO TRAITORS, United States, Dewitt-AL-1864-8 WM, NGC MS61, Cert# 3706259-006. Listed as Sullivan-Dewitt AL 1864-8, Size: 32mm. This is another great design from the Civil War election of 1864. It depicts "Abr'm Lincoln A Foe to Traitors." The reverse exclaims "No Compromise With Armed Rebels. May The Union Flourish." It was no doubt issued in response to the nomination of McClellan by the Peace Democrats in Chicago. A Wonderful Addition to a Lincoln Medal Historical Collection.
