Several years ago there was a chap researching what the Union soldiers and sailors said about Lincoln. He wanted to quote from their letters home, etc. Did this book ever get published ? Title ?
Available ? If not then maybe this could be a thread. What DID they say about the president? Good, bad, indifferent, admired, loathed or.......The Union forces took a much greater interest in politics and had better access to newspapers. The higher literacy rate was another factor. Something to chew on
