Quote #10

This was no dream. Abraham Lincoln has been senselessly slain by the hand of a madman, and Jethro Creighton, with all the people of his time, had suffered an irreparable loss. (12.78)

This death is more than just a victim of war. It is an intentional, vicious murder of the leader of a country; a single man who was admired by thousands, including Jethro. Where all the others slain in battle were mourned by their families and friends, this single murder is felt by the entire country.
