Where was Lincoln? - AussieMick - 07-20-2025
Where was Lincoln when he heard these words?
"What defence can be made by the inhabitants of villages mostly built of wood, of cities unprotected by walls, nay, by a population of men, however high-toned and resolute, whose aged parents demand their care, whose wives and children are clustering about them, against the charge of the war-horse whose neck is clothed with thunder,– against flying artillery and batteries of rifled cannon planted on every commanding eminence,–against the onset of trained veterans led by skilful chiefs?"

New Salem?
RE: Where was Lincoln? - AussieMick - 07-20-2025
No, Roger not New Salem.

Washington DC, did this have to do with the war with Mexico
RE: Where was Lincoln? - AussieMick - 07-20-2025
Sorry, Gene ... No, not Washington DC . Nothing to do with Mexico.
BTW the question was where was Lincoln when he heard those words ... well, he was present when the words were spoken. But he may not have been listening all the time.
Gene, Washington? You're not too far off.
RE: Where was Lincoln? - AussieMick - 07-20-2025
Apart from anything else, apparently he was not feeling too good.

On the train returning to Washington from Gettysburg?

In Congress, after the firing on Fort Sumter?
RE: Where was Lincoln? - AussieMick - 07-20-2025
Sorry David not there ... Roger , it wasn't on the train.
RE: Where was Lincoln? - AussieMick - 07-20-2025
Mary Lincoln definitely wasn't listening.

Yes, David! Well done.
I was hard on Roger. His Washington-Gettysburg train was close ... But you got there first, David.

Roger would have thought the same. I just answered first.
