The "Union Party," also known as the National Union Party, was formed in 1864 to unify factions during the Civil War, ensuring support for President Abraham Lincoln's re-election. The party's candidates were Abraham Lincoln for president and Andrew Johnson for vice president. This coalition aimed to consolidate support from War Democrats and strengthen the Union's resolve against the Confederacy.
