the question is this, what was abe lincoln's attitude for the coalition of mcclellan and other members of his administration for coercing the soldiers and, you know, demoting them and court-martialing them, however the answer seems to be, he was -- he didn't exactly reject this practice but he didn't condone it either. old benevolent, loved abe really was a politician. he knew how to handle any controversial situation. however, i'm satisfied with the fact that he never condoned it and did not reject it. and by the way, speaking of you, professor, i always thought that i was new york's premier civil war historian. now i see that i'm number two. >> ah. thank you so much.

dismissed from the army for saying he would rather sing to hell than free the negroes and that old abe lincoln is a god damned old shit. think of you always things later, but i thought that probably would've been a great title for my book. these guys and many more like him were court-martialed. some of them deserved it for some of the things that were said. someone not even the excerpts i have given you. but they were court-martialed because the lincoln i argue, wanted to teach the soldiers to not criticize emancipation for her not criticize the war, policy of the government, official military policy of the government. and it was effective. to keep theirle opinions to themselves. some of the most egregious political favoritism involves furloughs. not all soldiers, as i said, voted in the field. not permit did soldiers to vote in the field. to republican governors from those states wrote letters to secretary of war stanton, and they are in the library of congress, saying would you please for low republican soldiers to come home and vote was to mark we're going to lose the election in our state

abe 75 to 0. after the election jones noted, "thank god that the sin of slavery will be no more. i can bear all the deprivations of a soldier's life." lincoln took nothing for granted. he was concerned about troop morale. it was at this point he wrote the blind memorandum. the blind memorandum, by the way, was not taken out of the desk until after the election. it turns out that he did not have to volunteer to do all of that after all. it certainly made it obvious that he was willing to do everything he could to shore up civilian and soldier votes. many democrats hoped that many in the field would remain loyal to their former commanding general, george mcclellan. it is one reason he was nominated. but they underestimated the ability of union soldiers to analyze for themselves just what a vote for the democratic peace platform would indicate. basically that everything he fought for was meaningless. most forces had been in a uniform since the first call in 1861. these men knew personally what this war meant and what would happen if it were not fought to its conclusion. they announced with their votes the ownership of the conflict and their be
