1863 Civil War Dated, Double-Sided & Illustrated California Union State Political Campaign Ballot/Ticket for Frederick Low for Governor titled, "Unconditional Surrender", Choice Crisp Extremely Fine. 1863 California Union State Political Campaign “Union State Ticket” listing Frederick Low, "Unconditional Surrender" listing Frederick F. Low for Governor, along with 29 local and State Candidates. In 1849 he was lured to California in search of gold and was successful in unearthing $1,500 in gold. He used the gold to start a mercantile business in San Francisco. On September 2, 1863, Frederick Low who won this campaign for California Governor, becoming the first Governor to be elected to a four-year term. Printed in black on white wove period paper measuring 7.75” x 3.5” with the reverse superbly graphic with a Civil War battle scene displaying, Cannons, four American Flags, the inscription "Union" at the top, and "Unconditional Surrender" at the bottom. The central image is surrounded by a Union Soldier holding an American Flag on the right side and a Confederate soldier with a rifle and tent on the right. Both imaged with cannonballs at their feet. Interestingly, Abraham Lincoln's name is not seen on this Ballot, perhaps because the local California republican candidates remembered the mediocre support Lincoln experienced during the 1860 election. Great as a representative example of California, the Union and Civil War political history. Very Rare.Low entered politics in 1861, when he was elected to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives; however, he was not allowed to take his seat because the 1860 census indicated that California was not eligible for another congressional representative. A special act of Congress granted him approval, and Low took his seat, serving from June 3, 1862, until March 3, 1863. He then was appointed Collector of the Port of San Francisco. On September 2, 1863, Low was elected Governor of California, becoming the first governor to be elected to a four-year term. During his tenure, California’s parks system was created and the Southern Pacific Railroad was established. Low also promoted and founded the state university, now the University of California. Low left office on December 5, 1867, and two years later was appointed the U.S. Minister to China. He served as minister until 1874. That same year, he became the joint manager for the Anglo-California Bank, a position he held until 1891. Governor Frederick F. Low died on July 21, 1894, and is buried at the Laurel Hill Cemetery, San Francisco, California. |
