"Stump the Yankee"

[J. Beckert]

Scoreboard: Rebs 3
Yankee (ahem) 1

Good evening and welcome back to what I'm sure you'll agree is a long overdue installment of "Stump the Yankee". I'm sure by now a lot of you have been asking yourselves - "Hey - where's that **** Yankee been?" If the truth be told, I've been cooking up a STY question that can't be Googled, there's no picture of and should get me back on the road to evening the score. Good luck with this one, you rebellious violators of the Sedition Act.

Items associated with Lincoln's assassination quickly became sought after momentos. Snippets of the blood soaked towels, the curtains of the Presidential box, Lincoln's clothes, etc., were quickly grabbed up. His shirt was divided into pieces that the men who bore his body back to the White House were rewarded with. But what happened to his socks? There's a story there and if you guess it, you will have "Stumped the Yankee".

This installment's prize is yet to be determined as access to the STY Prize Vault won't happen for a few days. Good luck!
