Abraham Lincoln

Printer-friendly versionSend by email

In the early years of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln became so angered at the inactivity of Union commander George McClellan that the president wrote his commanding general this one-sentence letter:

“If you don’t want to use the army, I should like to borrow it for a while.
Respectfully, A. Lincoln.”

Today in the Word, July 18, 1993
