In Response To: Re: Honest Abe? ()

POW's were not allowed to vote on either side unless of course they became galvanized prior to the election.

I was referring to the 88th Ohio Volunteer Infantry who were Union guards at Camp Chase. The only person the Union soldiers could vote for at Camp Chase in 1864 was Lincoln since Democratic representative were not allowed inside of the camp at least so goes the newspaper story and it was probably true.

The title was met to be sarcastic.
