Midnight on the Potomac

This period is so pivotal yet often overshadowed by Lincoln's assassination. I'm curious what drew Scott Ellsworth to highlight this specific timeframe and its significance.

The intricate politics behind the Civil War's final days added a layer of complexity I didn't expect. It made me wonder how much of this was well-known versus newly uncovered research.

The aftermath seems almost as consequential as the events themselves. I'm interested in how the author connects these moments and their lasting effects.
