Original Note:
5 Justices were nominated by Lincoln and confirmed from 1862 through 1864. 4 of the 5 were confirmed by voice vote, so we cannot know if in those votes senators represented a majority of voters. But, senators from Confederate states did not vote on the 1862-1864 nominees. https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/members_text.aspx https://www.senate.gov/legislative/nominations/SupremeCourtNominations1789present.htm
