I am reading Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard. I'm on page 67, just about to start chapter 13. This book is set in 1865, fourteen days before President Lincoln is assassinated, during the Civil War. So far its been all about the battles and the two sides strategies and the war seems to be close to over. I think that the book is pretty good, but sometimes its hard to follow with all the different names and directions of the troops within each side. I think O'Reilly and Dugard wrote this so people could find out the real story of what happened to Lincoln, it seems like a topic most people don't know alot about but it is really quite interesting. They probably wanted you to think of the story from many points of view, so you could understand it in its fullest.
"They ride hard. Their fate comes down to one simple word: 'Charge!" I think this is important because alot of the Union and Confederates strategy towards the end of the war is to just charge and go all out.
Questions:
How has the Union not won yet?
Does Lincoln believe all races are completely equal or just doesn't believe in slavery?
