RE: President Lincoln and the Homestead Act
(04-11-2020 05:01 PM)RJNorton Wrote: The House of Representatives passed the Homestead Act by a vote of 107 to 16 on February 28, 1862. The Senate passed the Homestead Act by a vote of 33 to 7 on May 6, 1862. To impose upon President Abraham Lincoln a failure to do right, as the New York Times editorial implies, is repugnant to my sense of "right and wrong." "So very difficult a matter is it to trace and find out the truth of anything by history." -- Plutarch |
