NYC… For or Against Lincoln during the Civil War?

According to Bill Morgan of the New York Times, The Great City of New York was very much against the war and the Unions war aims. The citizens of the city believed that it would be bad for business to fight the South in a war. Also, Southerners owed New York Banks tons of money and poor New Yorkers thought that if the Union won, the city would be flooded with cheap work from the newly freed slaves. Knowing this, when Lincoln went up for reelection in 1864, he lost in New York by a landslide, but won the electoral vote for the state because of upstate New York's love for Lincoln and the cause. Instead of Voting for Lincoln, the City voted for Senator Stephen A. Douglas in 1860 and Gen. George B. McClellan in 1864.
