But he’d managed to learn to read and write, and he wanted a better life for himself than that of a poor farmer.

Lincoln was visiting the Union Army.[3] The Union president did not want to go home until he had won the war.

He visited a friend who offered him a drink
of lemonade. Then the friend suggested that the lemonade would taste better with a little brandy in it. The man replied
that if some of the brandy were to get into the lemonade “unbeknown to him,” that would be fine.
Sherman believed that Lincoln meant it would be the best thing for the country if Jefferson Davis were simply to leave and never return."]]> 2019-06-03 16:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/evanlyttle2/erudptaxotcv/wish/365352695 evanlyttle2 https://padlet.com/evanlyttle2/erudptaxotcv/wish/365353310 He knew his relentlessness was paying off.]]> 2019-06-03 16:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/evanlyttle2/erudptaxotcv/wish/365353310 evanlyttle2 https://padlet.com/evanlyttle2/erudptaxotcv/wish/365353315 2019-06-03 16:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/evanlyttle2/erudptaxotcv/wish/365353315 evanlyttle2 https://padlet.com/evanlyttle2/erudptaxotcv/wish/365355663 "Lincoln crossed his legs
and “looked far off with a serious, dreamy expression.” "Sitting in the quiet study of the Confederate president, perhaps Lincoln weighed the cost—more than 620,000 American lives[5]—paid to get there. He did not speak. Then he requested a glass of water."]]> 2019-06-03 16:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/evanlyttle2/erudptaxotcv/wish/365355663 evanlyttle2 https://padlet.com/evanlyttle2/erudptaxotcv/wish/365356752 2019-06-03 16:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/evanlyttle2/erudptaxotcv/wish/365356752
