Extra Credit Questions

[David Lockmiller]

Who wrote in a letter the following words, to whom, from where, and when?

I can’t write any more today. I may see you before long — I don’t know — & so I won’t waste time by telling you what you must know as well as I do.

Bancroft’s address was a disgraceful exhibition of ignorance and prejudice. His effeminate nature shrinks instinctively from the contact of a great reality like Lincoln's character.

I consider Lincoln Republicanism incarnate — with all its faults and all its virtues. And in spite of some rudenesses, Republicanism is the sole hope of a sick world, so Lincoln with all his foibles, is the greatest character since Christ.
