Ex-Lieutenant Mackey Deserter Endorsed by Lincoln
A Civil War era critique exposes Lieutenant Charles W Mackey of the Tenth Pennsylvania Reserve Vols as cowardly and dishonorable for abandoning his regiment at Fredericksburg. It details court martial findings, Lincoln's conditional disability removal, a later effort to secure an honorable discharge, and calls him unfit for Congress. The letter argues that Mackey used false testimony to manipulate Congress and public opinion for political gain.
