Widow Lewis Pension Gain Sparks North South Clash
An article recalls widow Mrs. Lewis of Phoenix New York who lost five sons to the Union army and lived in poverty until back pension arrears were paid and a future pension guaranteed. It contrasts Republican support for compensation with Radical opposition and cites related Supreme Court decisions. The piece attacks Grant era rhetoric and ends with a polemic on national unity and reform.
