half-rebel

Updated: July 5, 2026

I begin to be confused; cannot find out what is the character of Lincoln, and above all of Scott. Governors from whole or half-rebel States refuse the President's call for troops. The original call of 75,000, too small in itself, will be reduced by that refusal. Why does not the administration call for more on the North, and on the free States?
