Did people harangue Mary Todd Lincoln, demanding to know why their son died at Antietam?

Good point, but I don't think the Lincolns had a son in the war. Their sons died from fevers.

Early in 1865 (after his father had written Ulysses S. Grant a letter) Robert Lincoln joined General Grant's staff as a captain. Captain Lincoln's main duty as an army officer was that of escorting visitors to various locations. Additionally, he was present at Appomattox when Robert E. Lee surrendered to Grant.

The Lincolns did, but the word "their" in my post, being plural, had "people" as its antecedent not the singular Mary Todd Lincoln.

Um, read that again. I think the poster meant the "haranguers" son, not the Lincoln's son. Maybe not written well. Should have said: did mother's/father's harangue Mary Todd Lincoln, demanding to know why their son died at Antietam?
