1. Lincoln said of this prominent family that while God required only one "d" to spell his name, they required two. Who were they? The Addamses The Dodds The Goddards The Todds

2. Lincoln in essence got "rid of" his vain and in many ways counterproductive Treasury Secretary, Salmon P. Chase, by accepting Chase's huffy resignation and then giving him a seat on the Supreme Court. What "praise" did Lincoln give Chase when he placed him on the Surpeme bench? "Chase is about one and a half times bigger than any other man I know" "As a Cabinet member, Mr. Chase was invaluable on several occasions" "Salmon P. Chase is a legend in his own mind." "Chase is one of the finest public servants it has ever been my privilege to know"

3. In 1862, General McClellan exasperated Lincoln by refusing to move with the Army of the Potomac. With what words did Lincoln rather pointedly suggest that he expected McClellan to start moving? "If General McClellan's unreadiness is allowed to continue, the Union will be rent as he dithers." He told McClellan a story about a preacher becoming mired in quicksand If McClellan "did not want to use the army", Lincoln would like to "borrow it" "If McClellan does not move I will have to remove him"

4. Whom did Lincoln once denounce as "deeply conscious of being in the wrong ... he feels the blood of this war, like the blood of Abel, is crying to heaven against him... He is a bewildered, confounded, and miserably perplexed man..." Jefferson Davis Robert E. Lee Alexander Stephens James K. Polk

5. The Army of the Potomac took a rather extended rest after Antietam, prompting Lincoln to fits of apoplexy. McClellan took a vacation to see his family and besieged Lincoln with requests for horses, suggesting that his existing stock was tired. What did Lincoln write back? "I mean no personal rancor, but you are a general, and not a trainer of trotting-horses" "What (have) the horses of your army done since the battle of Antietam that fatigues anything?" "If the horses are tired, they have not disclosed such to me... please proceed" "As Lee recruits and restaffs his army, we are mired for lack of snaffle-bits"

6. Faced with a barrage of requests that he remove this general, who had a history of alcoholism, had supposedly been drunk at the successful siege of Fort Donelson, and clearly was caught unawares at Shiloh, Lincoln famously replied, "If I knew what brand of whiskey he drinks, I would send a barrel or so to some other generals." Who was Lincoln referring to? Sheridan Grant Sherman Butler

7. Lincoln placed this general in command of the Army of the Potomac with a carefully worded letter that stressed his respect for the man's abilities but admonished him for having "thwarted" his predecessor, and for having suggested that the country needed a "dictator." Lincoln wrote "Only those generals who gain successes can set up dictators. What I now ask of you is military success, and I will risk the dictatorship." To whom was the missive directed? Ambrose Burnside W.T. Sherman U.S. Grant "Fighting Joe" Hooker

8. Even as the boys in gray moved into Pennsylvania toward the eventual clash at Gettysburg , Lincoln had his eye on the progress of the war in the west, where Grant was laying siege to Vicksburg. After Vicksburg and Port Hudson fell to Union armies within five days of each other, Lincoln wrote a letter that was read to the public in Springfield, Il. With what memorable phrase did he characterize the end result of the Vicksburg and Port Hudson triumphs? "The confederacy has been rent asunder" "The Father of Waters again goes unvexed to the sea" "The rebel provinces have been omnously encircled" "The Mississippi River is now Union territory"

9. Remembered for his immortal Gettysburg Address, Lincoln delivered many other moving speeches. Which memorable phrase comes from his First Inaugural Address (March 4, 1861)? "I intend no modification of my oft-expressed wish that all men everywhere,could be free" "With malice toward none, with charity for all." "A house divided against itself cannot stand" "the mystic chords of memory... will yet swell the chorus of the Union."

10. Several weeks after Chancellorsville, at which an outnumbered Lee routed Hooker, Lincoln relieved Hooker of his command, replacing him with Meade, who would soon emerge victorious at Gettysburg. Lincoln thereafter spoke of Hooker among intimates. How did he characterize "Fighting Joe"? As a "tragic and defeated figure" As a "blond, curly-haired McClellan" as akin to a "son who was lame or had some other physical infirmity." As a "great man stamped on base metal"
