LINCOLN, Abraham.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

"Peace Commissioners" campaign ribbon. A rare ribbon from Lincoln's 1864 campaign to retain the Presidency during the Civil War, where he faced down the Democrats who were campaigning to sue for peace - the ribbon satirically names the military generals Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan as Lincoln's own "Peace Commissioners", underneath a profile of a beardless Lincoln.
