Those are very logical guesses, Mike and Michael, but neither is correct.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
I was thinking either Stanton or Seward. Could you tell where this took place, I e., was it a newspaper interview or in a letter?

Nope, it was not Stanton or Seward.
Rob, it was in a letter. |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Very good, David! Yes, it was John Hay
In a letter from John Hay to William Herndon dated September 5, 1866, Hay wrote: "I consider Lincoln Republicanism incarnate — with all its faults and all its virtues. As 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." |
