-
May the good Lord bless and keep you safe,
-
Master Lincoln.
-
You are a free citizen of this republic.
-
Kneel to God, only, and thank him
-
for the liberty that is yours.
-
It's one of the most unforgettable scenes in American history:
-
an American president walking the streets
-
of a fallen rebel capital, in the midst of a civil war.
-
Scarcely 36 hours after Jefferson Davis has fled his capital,
-
Abraham Lincoln arrives at the surrendered home
-
of the Confederate president.
-
I am informed that General Weitzel is on his way, sir.
