It was said in jest and with some indifference. The war had retreated even in the minds of many Americans. But to historians the events are still as fresh as ever.

But he learned Wednesday that the public never complet- ely forgets baseball heroes. He was given an offer of free Mississippi, on Jan. 9, 1861; Florida, Jan. 10; Alabama, Jan. 11; Georgia, Jan. 19; Louisiana, Jan. 26. By the time the southern states had completely solidified their position, they had 11 states in the Confederacy; a new president of their own, Jeffer son Davis, and a new capital, Richmond, Va. While slavery was an inflam- ing issue, the evidence seems clear that Lincoln didn't fight to free the slaves but to pre- serve the union and fo regain federal fortifications taken over by the Confederates. Compromise on freedom an slavery? No, sir, says one Cat- ton critic. "In those days there were Americans whose high moral principles led them to resolutely oppose slavery," this critic tes. "Their honored place in istory will not be affected one jota by criticism from today's 'compromisers!'
