Abraham Lincoln is a good man. He was merciful to William Scott. Many military troops were pardoned by Abraham Lincoln at the time.
Explanation:
- William Scott had served one night and then stood in for a sick friend the following night. He was tasked with defending the bridge for the third time in a row. The next morning, when another soldier came and took his place, William Scott was found napping and condemned to death.
- A group of the soldier's friends traveled the few kilometers to the White House, where they were given an appointment by President Abraham Lincoln. The soldiers told Lincoln their story and begged him to rescue their friend. Soon after, the president left the White House to meet with Scott.
- The president informed William Scott that he would still not be killed, but will instead be permitted to return to his regiment. Scott pledged his allegiance to the president and expressed gratitude for his mercy.
