Michael Hahn
Republican

The 1864 Louisiana gubernatorial (Union) election was the first election to take place under the Louisiana Constitution of 1864. As a result of this election Michael Hahn became Governor of Union-controlled Louisiana.

Background[edit]

In December 1863, along with his annual message to Congress, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation declaring that whenever the voters of a seceding state re-established a loyal state government, it should be recognized. Under this plan, an election was held in the portion of Louisiana controlled by General Nathaniel P. Banks.[1]
