Who wrote these words regarding President Lincoln? - David Lockmiller - 08-10-2025 07:27 AM
"Lincoln's response to these extraordinary pressures reveals much about his character. . . . Yet he forthrightly faced the likelihood of defeat and resolved to do his utmost in the remaining months both to win the war on the North's terms and to bring as many slaves as possible into Union lines before newly elected Democratic leaders could shut the door forever."

No, to be clear, the words are the words of a book author, Roger.
Sorry about the wrong steering.

No, it is not Bruce Catton. Undoubtedly, other authors may have used words quite similar.

I thought that this challenge might be too difficult.
It is just so well written by Doris Kearns Goodwin in her book Team of Rivals, page 648.
