Biography:
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States and the Union's leader during the Civil War, would already have been dead when John Sartoris mentions him as having promised "to send us troops" to help restore order to the South after it surrendered (65). Before his assassination, Lincoln did urge compassion and a form of political forgiveness for the defeated Confederacy, but there is no clear basis for Sartoris' claim.
