November 8, 324: After two decades of bloody civil war, Emperor Constantine has finally siezed control of the entire Roman empire.[1]

November 8 late Fourth Century: In Cyprus, at the end of the fourth century, Epiphanius asserts against the Alogi (Hær., li, 16, 24 in P.G., XLI, 919, 931) that Christ was born on 6 January and baptized on November 8. Ephraem Syrus (whose hymns belong to Epiphany, not to Christmas) proves that Mesopotamia still put the birth feast thirteen days after the winter solstice; i.e. 6 January.[2]

400 CE: Abaye and Rabah-Amoraim of the Babylonian Talmud.

Over a period of several hundred years Jewish scholars who had memorized and studied the Torah and Mishnah would create a new text to explain the relationship between the oral law and the Torah. This enormous commentry on the law was called the Tlamud, froma Hebgrew word that meahs “learning.” Two Jewish communities created Talmuds independently: one in Babylon, the other to the north of Jerusalem. [3]

The Torah, Mishnah, and Talmud created an authoritative written body of Jewsh law and custom (halachah). As a result, even during the Diaspora (the dispersal of the Jewish community) all Jews could look to the halachah for guidance. This ensured that Judaism would remain the same no matter where it was practiced, as all rabbis could draw on the same written sources to teach their congregations.[4]

Thus the development of Rabbinic Judaism gave lasting strength to the Jewish faith, saving Judaism from being lost to history like many other ancient religions.[5]

Around 400 C.E.: Around 400 C.E. a tribe of Arabs decided to settle down near the site of the ancient Kaaba shrine. This tribe, the Quraysh, established a city that would eventually be called Makka (Mecca).[6]

Abt. 400 AD

The Hopewells and the Adena cultures appear to have coexisted for about 800 years until about 400 AD. Some accounts claim the Adena Culture continued perhaps 100 years or more after the Hopewells mysteriously vanished, but by the end of the sixth century, both cultures had disappeared, leaving behind only tantalizing remnatnts of their tenure buried in the amazing mounds they had created. [7]

Adena Mound. This mound is found near the Scioto River in Ohio and is maintained within a small park.

Marker "The Adena Culture. Native Americans of the Adena culture were some of Ohio's first known settlers. They lived in the upper and middle Ohio Valley during the late Archaic and Early Woodland periods, roughly 1000 B.C.-100 A.D. The Adena people were hunters, gatherers, traders, and farmers. They carved effigy figures, made ceramic pots, built extensive houses, and developed significant burial mounds. These mounds were made of earth, stone, remains of deceased members, and token objects, and were built on uplands near major waterways such as the mound here near the Scioto River. The Ohio Historical Society."

Plaque "Shrum Indian Mound. One of the last remaining earthen mounds in this area of Ohio. Built by Native American people of the Adena Culture (800 BC-100 AD). The Land was deeded to the Ohio Historical Society in 1928 by the Shrum family. Dedicated August 9, 2008 by the Ohio Society National Society Colonial Dames XVII century.".

The picture on the right enlarged is taken from the same side (the rear) and shows a person atop the mound in order to provide "scale" to the photo. A second highway marker at the site is devoted to James E. Campbell, a former governor of Ohio (1890-1892) and was president of the Ohio Archeological and Historical Society (1913-1924).

Adena People. Ancient people in southwestern PA who left two large burial mounds in Washington County. Artifacts (skeletal remains, clay bowls, copper utensils, etc.) indicate habitation some two or three thousand years ago. Mounds in the region vary from the large mound at Moundsville, WVA to smaller mounds found in McKees Rocks, one atop Grant’s Hill (downtown Pittsburgh), and two burial mounds at Monongahela, PA.

"Site of two Indian Burial Mounds built between 2,000 and 3,000 years ago by the Adena people. Late 19th century excavations found skeletons, pottery, copper implements, and other antiquities.

"Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission...1954."

These mound builders are believed to be directly related to the other mound builders along the Ohio River and then up the Mississippi to Cahokia, IL (across the river from present-day St. Louis). During the period between 1000 BC and 400 AD, the Adena/Hopewell peoples built the "serpent" mounds near Locust Grove, OH paralleling Ohio Brush Creek. The "serpent" contains no human remains, and—if uncoiled would stretch to more than a quarter-mile (the longest "serpent" mound in the world). The "serpent" effigy was also used by the Maya, Greeks, Chinese, Hindus, and others.

The “digs” in Allegheny County[8] were performed by the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in the late 1890s and predated the more sensitive attitude towards disturbing Indian burial grounds. Persons involved in the unearthing of skeletal remains tell of finding bones of persons who would have measured six-foot seven inches, or more. That these people were tall in stature is no surprise as the Native Americans were, as a rule, several inches taller than the European immigrants. When Lewis & Clark made their noted expedition, they found the Osage Indians in Missouri to average being six-feet tall—with chiefs up to six-feet seven inches.[9]

St. Jerome


[14]

405 A.D.

Jerome (Eusebius Hieronymus) (c.345-419) translates the Latin Vulgate from Hebrew and Greek originals. His guiding practice in general was that in practice that a good translation should express the meaning, not necessarily the actual words, of the original. Jerome’s method of translation has substantially influenced future translators of Scripture.He did not strive for literary excellence. What mattered most was the content, not the literary form. Until the seventh centrurey, the Roman Church used both the Old-Latin version and Jerome’s. But by gradual process Jerome’s version emerged as the standard text. Jerome called his work Translatio Nova, the New Translation, but by the thirteenth century it became known as the “Vulgate”.[15]

405 A.D.: St. Patrick was among thousands taken by boat back to Ireland from Britain by raiders.[16]

408 A.D. Alerec stood on the doorsteps of Rome looking for power, plunder, and food. Alerec’s men surrounded Rome and took over their supply lines and blocked all shipments of grain coming into the city. Gradually Rome began to die from within.[17]

November 8, 1770: . Came within a Mile of the Mouth of Muskingham 27 Miles.[18]

[Col. William Christian to Col. William Preston. 3QQ130.]

Smithfield Tuesday the 8 Novr. ‘74

My Dear Sir-About 7OClock this morning Capt Floyd & myself got there [here] on our return from the Indian Country. I hear you are not expected home before Sunday, if you stay in the neighbourhood of the Town a few days or come up Roanoak I hope to see you But in the mean time I will say a little about our Journey.

This day 3 weeks [October 18] our Army about 1150 in number marched from the Ohio, and on the Monday evening following we encamped within about 3 miles from A Shawnese Town where their greatest force were Assembled. His Lordships Camp was then about 7 miles from us & about 6 miles from the Town. We intended for his Camp but passed the path that took off to our right hand expecting he had encamped nearer the Towns.[20] That day we were met by several expresses from his Lordship, the last one informing us that he had concluded a peace. As we went on further than was expected The Indians who watched every motion of our army, informed the Govr. That we had not stopt but were pushing strait for their Towns & would be in that day (which we could havee done). His Lordship with the Interpreter Mr. Gibson & an Indian Chief & 50 men came to our Camp at Dusk.[21] The next day he called the Captains together, told what he had [done] & desired us to return home. We began our March that day, all but about 50 Fincastle men who went to the other Camp. On Friday night we reached Point Pleasant. On Sunday evening the greatest part of the Fincastle & Augusta Troops set our for home, every body being anxious.

Capt. Russell is to remain with 50 men at point Pleasant until the Assembly can be applyd to.

The Mingoes refused to comply with the termsof the Treaty, when his Lordship was at our Camp he had about 8 of their men under confinement. Tuesday night after he returned to his own Camp he detached 250 men who reached a mingoTown the following night, killed 5 & took 14 prisoners chiefly Women & Children the rest escaping under Cover of the Night.[22] The plunder to a considerable Amount was brought away, & the Town burned down.[23] This Intelligence came by Jno. Howe who was with the Party & overtook me at Elk. There is another Mingo Town nearer Pt. Pleasant[24]. I doubt the Govr. Cannot take that for want of Provisions

The Shawnese proposed laying themselves at the Govers. Mercy & told him to make the Terms & they should be complied with. He proposed their delivering up all the Prisoners & paying for what Stores &c they had taken since last war. And never more to make war or disturb us. For the Two first he takes two of their Chiefs with him to Wm.burg & for the last four Chiefs or the Sons of such. I don’t know abt. The other articles but Know & Howe tells me that there is something about their never coming over to our settlements but to Trade.[25]

Last Friday was two weeks [October 21] Logan a famous Chief[26] went home with a little boy a son of Roberts on Holston & two of Blackmores Negroes. He said He had taken them on the Fronteers next the Cherokee Country & had killed I think either 5 or 7 people. The boy and Negroes will be soon in.

It is a general opinion in the Govrs. Army that the peace with the Shawnese will be lasting.[27]

Many of our wounded men died since the Accounts of the battle came in, I think there are near 70 dead. Capt. Buford & Lieut. Goldman & 7 or 8 more died whilst we were over Ohio & more will yet die.

Colo. Fleming is in a fair way to recover and I think out of danger if he don’t catch cold. Him & Capt. Dickeson sett of[f] Monday was a week from the Point in a Canoe & will come from Elk or Kellys on horseback. All the wounded are coming in who Can ride, some must Stay until they get better.

I dare say the Army is now scattered from Elk to the levels, perhaps from Point pleasant to the Warm Springs, all in little Companys. Many of the Fincastle men crossed at Pt. Pleasant & intended to steer for Clinch. Others at Kellys. I beg of you if you can get any Oppy. To inform Mrs. Fleming of her husbands being on his way, He walks about constantly all day. He had plenty of people to take care of him.

Colo. Lewis I think will be in the first of next week, perhaps some longer. When I saw the Govr. He said he would hasten to Wm.burg to meet the Assembly whom he expected would adjourn from day to day, until he could get there. He will go very quick.

Pray show this to Mr. Madison. I will see him the last of this week I hope on my way to Hanover. If I knew certainly of yr. coming up Catawba I would go that way to meet you. I wish the other road may please you as well.

I am Sir as usual Yours Ever[28]

November 8, 1811: Aftermath

The day after the battle at Tippecanoe, the wounded were loaded into wagons and carried back to Fort Harrison for care. Most of the militia was released from duty and returned home, but the regulars remained in the area for a brief time longer.[26] In his initial report to the Secretary Eustis, Harrison informed him of a battle having occurred near the Tippecanoe River, giving the battle its name, and that he feared an imminent reprisal attack. The first dispatch did not make clear which side had won the conflict, and the secretary at first interpreted it as a defeat. The follow-up dispatch made the American victory clear and the defeat of the Indians was more certain when no second attack materialized. Eustis replied with a lengthy note demanding to know why Harrison had not taken adequate precautions in fortifying his camp. Ancestor and future president William Henry Harrison responded that he considered the position strong enough to not require fortification. The dispute was the catalyst of a disagreement between Harrison and the Department of War that later caused him to resign from the army in 1814.[27]

At first the newspapers carried little information about the battle to the public; they instead focused on the highlights of the ongoing Napoleonic Wars. One Louisville newspaper even printed a copy of the original dispatch and called the battled an American defeat.[28] By December, most of the major American papers began to carry stories on the battle. Public outrage quickly grew and many Americans blamed the British for inciting the tribes to violence and supplying them with firearms. Andrew Jackson was among the forefront of men calling for war, claiming that Indians were "excited by secret British agents."[29] Other western governors called for action, William Blount of Tennessee called on the government to "purge the camps of Indians of every Englishmen to be found..."[30] Acting on popular sentiment, the War Hawks in Congress passed resolutions condemning the British for interfering in American domestic affairs. Tippecanoe fueled the worsening tension with Britain, culminating in a declaration of war only a few months later.[31]



Monument near the battle site

Attacks against settlers by Native Americans quickly increased in the aftermath of the battle. Numerous settlers and isolated outposts in Indiana and Illinois Territory were targeted leading to the deaths of many civilians.[30] Prophetstown was partially rebuilt over the next year, but was again destroyed by a second campaign in 1812. The Battle of Tippecanoe was a serious blow to Tecumseh's dream of a confederacy. When he returned, Tecumseh was angry with his brother who he had instructed to keep peace while he was away. The Prophet lost much of his prestige and influence after the defeat when his claims that the warriors could not be harmed proved untrue. Tecumseh continued to play a major role in military operations on the frontier, however, and by 1812 he had regained some of his former strength.[21] Tecumseh's troops made up nearly half of the British army that captured Detroit from America in the War of 1812. It was not until Tecumseh's death at the 1813 Battle of the Thames that his confederation ceased to threaten American interests.[32] When William Henry Harrison ran for President of the United States during the election of 1840, he used the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" to remind people of his heroism during the battle.[33]

Memorial

William Henry Harrison returned to the battlefield in 1835 to give speeches during his first presidential campaign. Part of his speech called for the creation of a memorial to preserve the battle site. John Tipton later purchased the land to preserve it and the mission school on the hill was purchased by the Methodist Church to be used a seminary school. Tipton left the battlefield to the seminary in his will and they maintained if for many years and built a larger facility at the location in 1862. In 1908, Indiana commissioned the creation of a 80 feet (24 m) high obelisk memorial. By the 1920s the site had became primarily a Methodist youth retreat. In 1961 the site held a large centennial commemoration of the battle was held and was attended by an estimated 10,000 people. In the following years the battle site became less trafficked and fell into a degree of disrepair. It was later taken over by the Tippecanoe County Historical Association who now maintains the battleground and the seminary building which now houses a museum dedicated to Battle of Tippecanoe.[34]

November 8, 1822 – Treaty of San Antonio de Bexar, granting land in the province of Tejas in Spanish Mexico to the Cherokee band of The Bowl. Though signed by the Spanish governor of Tejas, the treaty was never ratified by the Viceroyalty of New Spain, succeeding Mexican Empire, or the Republic of Mexico.[32]

[20] Dunmore had arrived at Fort Pitt about the end of August, and for several weeks was occupied in fruitless negotiations with the Delaware, Mingo, and Shawnee chiefs, the latter of whom were requested to meet him and make a treaty somewhere lower down the Ohio (Amer. Archives. 4th series, I, pp. 873-875. Accordingly the governor, with seven hundred men, set out in canoes, while five hundred more, under the command of Maj. William Crawford, marched by land where they arrived September 30 (Washington-Crawford Letters, pp. 54, 97). From this point Crawford marched to the mouth of Hockhocking, and crossing his forces began a small stockade named Fort Gower, in honor of the English earl of that name. This fort was on the upper or east side of the Hockhocking, quite near the junction of the two rivers. See Hildreth, Pioneer History of Ohio Valley (Cincinnati, 1848), p. 93. A few days later, the remainder of the army arrived, under Denmore’s immediate command; but no Indians appeared, save White-Eyes, the friendly Delaware, and John Montour, the former of whom was sent with a message to the Shawnee. They soon returned, bringing word of the absence of their warriors, who “had gone to the Southward to speak with the army there.” Oct 10, the sound of musketry was heard at Fort Gower; and the following day Dunmore took up his march for the Indian towns, hoping to get between them and the warrior’s band. The army camped the first night at Federal, and the second at Sunday Creek, both in AthensCounty. At he third camp, near the village of Nelsonville, news was brought from Lewis of his victory which occasioned great joy among the troops. See Draper MSS., 3S5-17. Two days later, a messenger from Cornstalk appeared, suing for peace; but next day the army advanced to the bank of Scippo Creek, on what was later the Winship farm, in the southwest quarter of section twelve, township twelve, rangfe twenty-one where a rude camp was formed, named by the governor for the English queen, Camp Charlotte. The name was written with red chalk on a peeled sapling and placed in the centre of the enclosure. At Camp Charlotte, the negotiations with the Shawnee chiefs had made considerable progress, when the approach of Lewis’s army alarmed the Indians. Dunmore’s War by Thwaites and Kellog pg302

[21] In later years, Col. Andrew Lewi’s son wrote to Dr Campbell that his father was obliged to double or trebnle the guard around his tent, while the governor was present, in order to preserve him from the wrath of the backwoods soldiers, who were incensed at being turned back when in sight of their prey. See Va. Hist. Register, I, p. 32. Dunmore’s War by Thwaites and Kellog pg. 302.

[22] This was the expedition led by Maj. William Crawford, which conducted the only offensive action of Dunmore’s division of the army. George Rogers Clark and Joseph Bowman, later concerned with the capture of the Illinois, were members of this party. The town visited by them was known as Seekonk, or Salt Lick Town (sometimes Hill Town), and was situated on the west bank of the Scioto, near Columbus, about opposite the Ohio state penitentiary. Two other small Mingo villages were in the vicinity. For account of this raid written, by the leader, see Washington-Crawford Letters, pp. 55, 56. The numbers of men and enemy killed differ slightly from Christian’s account. From traditions of this event, see Lee, City of Columbus (N. Y. and Chicago, 1892), pp. 97-99. Dunmore’s War, by Thwaites and Kellogg

[23] The booty taken was sold for ₤35, 11 shillings, 3 pence. See Journal of Virginia House of Delegates, Dec. 9, 1776. Dunmore’s War by Thwaites and Kellogg.

[24] Probably Horse-head Bottom town, situated on Pine Creek, an affluent of the Little Scioto in the county of that name. This was the Mingo Town that the party from the neighborhood of Wheeling started to attack in April, 1774, from which enterprise they were dissuaded by Capt. Michael Cresap. See Mayer, Logn and Cresap, pp. 88, 150. Dunmore’s War by Thwaites and Kellogg. P. 304.

[25] Compare with these terms those reported by Crawford (Washington-Crawford Letters, p. 54), and Dunmores account in his letter of Dec.24, post. Three of the hostages were Chenusaw, also called “the Judge,” Cuttenwa, and Newa. Dunmore’s War by Thwaites and Kellogg. Pp. 304-305.

[26] The following brief biography of Logan is abridged from a manuscript life in the Draper MSS., 2D, chap. 12. The father of Logan was a French child who, captured when quite young, had been adopted into the Oneida tribe, and became a chief of much influence among the Indians of the Susquehann. Logan’s mother was a Cayuga, hence this was his tribe. For many years he lived at Shamokin (now Sunbury), in the Susquehanna valley, and was usually known as John Shikellimo, his appellation Logan being in honor of James Logan, secretary of the province; his Indian name was Tachnechdorus (branching oak of the forest). During the French and Indian War he maintained a strict neutrality, even seeking refuge in Philadelphia from the wiles of the savage allies of the French. Obliged to abandon his ancestrial home, he lived in various places in Pennsylvania, for several years in the Kishacoquillas valley, whose pioneers later told tales of his kindness, generosity, and general goodwill except when under the influence of liquor. About 1772, he removed to the Ohio, and it was at his town on Yellow Creek that the affray occurred on April 30, 1774, that has been cited as the occasion for Dunmore’s War. Having glutted his vengeance by four prolonged raids, during the summer after the negotiations with Lord Dunmore for peace had begun. The date of his arrival, as here given by Christian, is proof that he was not in the battle at Point Pleasant. Noticing his absence, Lord Dunmore sent his interpreter, John Gibson, to bring him to the conference. Logan refused to go, and upon that occasion delivered the now famous speech, so generally quoted as an example of Indian eloquence, to which Jefferson paid high tribute in his “Notes on Virginia”. There grew up an animated controversy concerning the genuineness of this speech, and its attribution of the murder to Cresap. It is now admitted that the substance of the speech, as it has come down to us, was actually delivered by Logan, but that he was mistaken in attributing the murder of his family to Cresap. See Jacob, Life of Cresap; Mayer, Logan and Cresap (especially documents in appendix to edition of 1867); Roosevelt, Winning of the West, I, pp. 236-239, 347-352. The rest of Logan’s life is sunk in obscurity. He removed to Pluggy’s Town, on the Scioto, then to the watersof Mad River, in Logan County, and later to the neighborhood of Detroit. He saved Kenton from the stake in 1778, and the next year was recognized in a savage raiding party in southwest Virginia. See Draper MSS., 5QQ11. He was killed by one of his own relatives on his way home from Detroit in 1780. His epitaph may be given in his own statement, that “he knew he had two souls, the one good and the other bad; when the good soul had the ascendant, he was kind and humane, and when the bad soul ruled, he was perfectly savage, and delighted in nothing but blood and carnage.” See Amer. Pioneer, I, p. 350. Dunmore’s War, Thwaites and Kellogg pp. 305-306

[29] According to a note on the manuscript, written by Dr. Draper, this attack occurred November 4, 1777. The following details are given in a contemporary journal written at Ligonier during the autumn of 1777. See George A. Albert, Frontier Forts of Pennsylvania (Harrisburg, i8g6), ii, pp.

244, 245: “[Novr.] 5th. The Light Horse Men return’d with the news that yesterday about 11 o’clock Wallace’s Fort was attacked by a number of Indians on one Side while a White Man on the Other Side came wading up the Tail Race of his Mill with a Red Flag which seem’d to be intended as a deception for the attack. When the Man appear’d open to the Fort in the instant of the Attack ~ Balls were fir’d thro’ him. 2 of the Balls went thro’ 2 Letters he had ty’d in a Bag which was hung round his Neck down his Breast. * From what cou’d be discover’d by the Letters they were proclamations from Detroit to the same amount of those found with Col. Campbell. The same day the People about Palmers Fort were fir’d on.”—ED.

[30] This is an inaccurate account of the attack, October 22, on Fort Mercer in New Jersey, by a body of Hessians under Count von Donop. Col. Christopher Greene, in command of the fort, repulsed the enemy with great loss. He was assisted by Commodore Hazelwood. whose batteries fired into the British ship “Augusta”, 64 guns, causing a great explosion that destroyed the vessel. The “Merlin” was likewise burned. These events occurred the day after the attack on Fort Mercer. Billingsport, where the stockade was unfinished, had been abandoned by the Americans several days previous to this attack. ED.

[34] November 8th. Today the recruiting officer has again made his appearance and is working hard to get men to enlist in the rebel army. Every inducement is working hard to get men to enlist in the rebel army. Every inducement is held out to Union prisoners to take the oath of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy. They take advantage of the awful despondency which prevails among the prisoners, telling us that they have not the wherewithal to feed us, and that our government at Washington will not consent to an exchange of prisoners. A few of the poor boys are won over b these lying statements-but, only a few and these have to run the gauntlet of flying clubs and other misseles. The great majority prefer death to disloyalty.

The large brick building and one of the frame builldings are full to overflowing with sick men. To look in upon them is to witness a sight that is heart-rending beyond expression. The lower story of the brick building has only a dirt floor. On this the sick are placed in rows running the full length of the room. At one time a very little straw partially protected the poor, sick bodies from contact with the dampness and filthiness of the dirt floor, but the straw has become so broken and scattered by long use and no replenishment that it no longer affords any protection. The dust is so very thick and si so full of vermin that they are seen crawling around like ants on a ant-hill. The suffering of the helpless sick is fearful to contemplate, and the sight enough to make one's blood run cold. It is not an uncommon thing to see sick men who are so weak that they cannot brush the vermin away, completely covered with them, face, whiskers, hair in fact the whole body, is devoured and tormented by the pests. No effort whatever is made by the prison authorities to cleanse the place or give any protection to the sick and tormented men. Their living hell is called a "Hospital," and the villains who are in charge of it are called "men ." What a travesty on truth and justice.

The second story of this story of this building is also used for the sick. It differs from the lower story only by having a floor, but so far as dirt and vermin are concerned, it shows no improvment whatever. On this floor also the sick are laid in rows and so closely packed together that there is no room to step beween the bodies. The ventilation in this room being very poor, words cannot describe the terrible odor which filled its atmosphere, and which the poor fellows were compelled to breath day and night. No man ever left the pen, however feeble he might be, who had a friend to attend his wants, or render him aid of any kind. The only advantage gained by going into one of these buildings is shelter from the storms, and even this is counterbalanced by being brought into immediate contact with such masses of filth and contaminating disease that the open stockade was a much more decent and comfortable place, even for sick men than their boasted "hospital." (Dark Days of the Rebellion by Benjamin F. Booth and Steve Meyer pages 105-106.)

One prisoner who served on a burial detail in November recalled that after being stripped of all servicable clothing, the dead were piled up "like hogs" and then simply heaved into mass graves, where they were "covered with a few shovelfuls of dirt." A local minister who viewed the spectacle shamefully recorded that "they throw them in the graves like dogs." (While in the Hands of the Enemy, Military Prisons of the Civil War by Charles W. Sanders, Jr. 2005.)

[35]On the 8th of November, 1864, the officers and men of the regiment recorded their choice for President of the United States, with the following result: Whole number of votes cast, 303, of which Abraham Lincoln received 285 and George B. McClellan 18.

Abraham Lincoln is re-elected president, defeating Democrat George B. McClellan. Lincoln carries ? percent of the popular vote and 212 of 233 electoral votes. “I earnestly believe that the consequences ? to the lasting advantage, if not the very salvation, of the country,” Lincoln tells supporters.
