Lincoln is a dwarf !
Oct. 7, 1861
In a letter to a colleague, Garrison is fearful that Lincoln is following pro-slavery views. “Yet Mr. Lincoln is so infatuated as to shape his course of policy in accordance with their wishes, and is thus unwittingly helping to prolong the war, and to render the result more and more doubtful! If he is 6 feet 4 inches high, he is only a dwarf in mind.” 1
