"Stump the Yankee"

[J. Beckert]

I'm very sorry, but the time alotted for the Extra Point Challenge has expired. I've cut a switch and it's time to send Miz Paige back home to Grinder's Switch with some bruises!

While you did an excellent job listing the items found in Lincoln's pockets, you've neglected to name all the contents. As revealed here recently in a post by Blaine Houmes, a 20th century inspection of Lincoln's clothes revealed - " in the waistcoat pockets were tiny fragments of hard red and green candy which Lincoln is known to have enjoyed but also there was a fine brownish powder which appeared to be snuff".

According to our Board of Vital Statistics and Ethical Conduct, you awarded me 7.5 points from your question and 7.5 to yourself for the part I couldn't answer. This was a 5 point question, so I get the 5 points. I'm catching up fast! Here's the sorry score, y'all...

Rebels 26.5
Yankee 22.5
