When have I ever been so easily bamboozled?
-
I believe you
-
when you insist that amending the constitution
-
and abolishing slavery will end this war.
-
And since you are sending my son into the war,
-
woe unto you if you fail to pass the amendment.
-
Seward doesn't want me leaving big muddy footprints all over town.
-
No one has ever lived who knows better than you
-
the proper placement of footfalls on treacherous paths.
-
Seward can't do it. You must.
-
Because if you fail to acquire the necessary votes,
-
woe unto you, sir, you will answer to me.
