The 1864 National Union National Convention was the United States presidential nominating convention of the National Union Party, which met in Baltimore, Maryland on June 7 and 8, 1864. National Union was the name adopted by the main faction of the Republican Party in a coalition with many, if not most, War Democrats and Unconditional Unionists after some Republicans and War Democrats nominated John C. Frémont over Lincoln a few weeks earlier. The National Union renominated Abraham Lincoln for president and Andrew Johnson was nominated for vice president. During the Convention, the party adopted a platform calling for a victorious end in the ongoing Civil War, the eradication of slavery by constitutional amendment and the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation.
