 Question A


           According to Our Country is now in a Disturbed Condition in a letter from

1865, Edwin H. McCaleb, a former supporter of the Confederacy, responds to

Abraham Lincoln's death. He also states his distrust towards President Andrew Johnson.

For example, " Mr. Johnson has disregarded the requirements of the constitution &

undertake to enact military governments over the states." This clearly states that he distrust

the new president Andrew Jackson. Edwin H McCaleb also feels that Lincoln was a great

man and the country could not afford to lose such a great, smart and respected person.
