Answer:
In Walt Whitman's "O Captain! My Captain!" which describes the end of the Civil War and Lincoln's death, red is used as a synecdoche for blood. ... The word red in the first stanza literally means blood, Lincoln's blood, spilt upon the deck of the ship. Blood is the life force of human beings.
