Some friends asked Lin- coln to pardon the man. He said, I am, if possihle to be, too easily moved hy appeals of mercyg and l must say if this man had heen guilty of the foulest murder. l might forgive him of such an appeal. But the man who could go to ,Xfrica and roh her ot her children, for no other motive than that which is furnished hy dollars and cents, is so much worse than the most depraved murderer that he can never receive pardon at my hands. lt was Lincoln who nationalized the Thanksgiving festival, wherein a whole nation turns from daily toil. to thank the Giver of every good and perfect gift.
