Loretta Thai Boyd Blog Post 1865

April   26 ,  1865 Dear   Loren Boyd , President Lincoln has been assassinated , just when the war has just ended, somebody couldn’t keep their pettiness to themselves. President Lincoln was at Ford’s Theater watching a performance call “ Our American Cousin ,” I have to say this assassination is quite ironic. Killing someone because of their lost, during this performance, if it was any other play, I would’ve thought differently. Not only that the person who assassinated Lincoln is none other than actor John Wilkes Booth . The Federal troops  set the barn ablaze to force the actor to come out . While trying to escape, Sergeant Boston Corbett , shot without order ,  killing the actor . I feel quite bad for Lincoln’s wife, Mary Todd Lincoln , I would have been devastated to witness my own husband death. Everybody is devastated especially when they should be celebrating now that the war is over. I can’t help but feel very tired, now that...

A letter Home(Enlistment) : Alfred A. Scales

       To my dearest Sally,      I am doing very well and, I hope you and the boys are too. As you may know, Lincoln has called for 75,000 volunteers to form an army. I will be serving as a captain, so I am sure you are very proud of me. I have read many editorials criticizing Lincoln, and they've angered me. How dare the south go against the Constitution and secede illegally! Saying this I hope you and the boys do not associate yourselves with copperheads , they are nothing but trouble.

I'm sure this war will be over very soon. Take care of yourself and make sure to check up on our boys. Also tell them their fath...

Letter home to my beloved parents

Dear Mother, Mary I've been missing you a lot lately and if you didn't know, President Lincoln asked for 75,000 men to join his army and I feel like this will raise my chances into bringing the south back into the union because if we succeed and become victorious over the south they'll have to join back. You and dad would always talk about how slavery wasn't legally right and should eventually be stopped and I've kept that in mind when I decided to Join Lincolns army, I partially agree with you two but the more important thing we need to do is bring the south back because states seceding shouldn't be legal and it isn't right. Another thing to mention is 5 days after Lincoln announced his need for people to join his army, the first casualties occurred and surprisingly they didn't occur on a battlefield but in the city of Baltimore. From what i have heard, soldiers were marching towards Washington D.C. and some citizens tried to stop them which led to s...
