We're not, after all, talking about his walking off with anything that belongs to you.

Except for the occasional fort, mint, armory, post office, etc., etc.

Despite leaving their shares in all the lighthouses, mints, armories, and post offices in the North and West, the Southern Commissioners from both South Carolina, and later the Confederacy itself did not ask for their share in these, but offered to pay the Union for what they took. Mr. Abe refused to set a price.

He must have not cared.
