Peace Conference and Confederate Negotiations Detailed
A fragment from the era recounts a Civil War era peace overture. Francis P. Blair carried a letter from Jefferson Davis to Lincoln proposing informal talks if the terms could be accepted. The Richmond party, led by Stephens Hunter and Campbell, visited Washington and met with President Lincoln at Fortress Monroe aboard the River Queen. The four hour informal conference discussed postponing secession and restoring national authority, with Lincoln insisting on disbandment of rebel forces and emancipation policy. The talks ended without an agreement, but allowed direct communication between leaders.
