What kind of greeting did Jessie Fremont receive from US President Lincoln at the Executive Mansion in 1861?

Jessie Fremont was the wife of John C. Fremont, who was the general in command in the West. Fremont ordered that slaves of Missourians helping the South would be freed, contrary to Lincoln's orders that they would be held as stolen property, Lincoln wrote Fremont a cautionary letter which he took as a rebuke and sent his wife to Lincoln to state his case.

She arrived in the evening and asked for an audience when he granted immediately at 9:30 pm after she had traveled all day. He stood up and did not offer her a seat. He read the letter she brought from her husband which did not please him.

He cut her off when she tried to explain the situation in Missouri, saying something like,"You are quite a politician." The next day Lincoln wrote to Fremont and ordered him not to violate the Lincoln policy concerning slaves. Not long after, Fremont was relieved of his command.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
