A Washington visitor, described as an elderly wife of a Confederate figure, claims the North under Lincoln has shifted the war’s purpose toward abolition and personal gain for officials. She argues Northern contractors, press suppression, and military power block peace, while the South longs to rejoin the Union under the Constitution. Her statements warn of foreign influence if the country remains divided.
