Living for the drama omg

“There was little to lead one to suppose that Abraham Lincoln, nervously rambling the streets of Springfield that May morning, who scarcely had a national reputation, certainly nothing to equal any of the other three, who had served but a single term in Congress, twice lost bids for the Senate, and had no administrative experience whatsoever, would become the greatest historical figure of the nineteenth century”

I’ve taken note of how many cups of tea I’ve had while reading this. It’s 17.5 (one rose hip brew wasn’t to my taste)

“…the war goes on. And the men die… We are prepared to lose some of us. But never all of us… And yet, if they all die, a man must ask himself, will it have been worth it?”
