"Since Garfield was in Congress in June 1863, and not in the army, hd couldn't have had anything to do with 'a hanging and a drum-head court martial' in Murfeesboro. Unless you are referring to Colonel Turchin's trial the year before."
THIS will be my last post to you. You are so totally prone to disbelieve anything positive about the South. And further prone to deliberately putting people on the defensive for a very selfish reason.
The court martial business was reasearched, BY MYSELF, and DUH! I know he was in WASHINGTON. DUH! DUH! DUH! BUT DUH! That does not mean, DUH! that one cannot contact him by TELEGRAPH! DUH!
...And, bye...
Fiddle Dee Dee!
Why? Because I point out the inconsistencies in your unsupported, undocumented, biased claims? You, like all your southron compatriots, want to make any charge you care to without fear of it being questioned. And it annoys you no end when you have your smears challenged.

I can't say I've been overly impressed with your research to date, so perhaps you can provide more details of just how Garfield managed to run a drum head court martial and lynching in Murfeesboro from Washington, D.C. Telegraph or no telegraph.
