Har ar lite citat fran dagboken

"We went to one of the President's leeves. I never saw so incapable a face as Buchanan's. Surely no woman would have been crazy enough, had he been in the profession of medicine, to entrust him with the health of her favorite poodle. And that was the poor, almost imbecilic looking man who was the President of the United States and possessed more power than any constitutional monarch of Europe during his term of office." (skrivit 1861)

"Lincoln, a rail-splitter, and his wife, two ignorant and vulgar boors, are king and queen for now." - (Skrivit 1864)

"If we execute [Jefferson Davis], we should make him a martyer. Let him go and he is only a miserable failure whom no one will care for, from whom we shall have nothing to fear.'[Skrivit 1865]
