and you keep talking about how and irish lincoln was and some of the whigs and certainly a lot of the england republicans. you don't ask. why? the reason why? because the irish voted 90 to 95% for the democrats. and there wasn't serious reason for them. i think i just not to interrupt you, but i think i did say exactly that. i'll address the german part in a minute, but i said exactly that lincoln liked immigrants who were republicans and the democrats. yeah, but the germans probably leaned a little more democrat than republican, but at least they weren't. bloc voting like 9090 5%. may i answer some of what you said? yes. all right. which i will in a second. so gustav carter plays a large role in my. his loyalty to lincoln. complete, absolute. lincoln shafted him in 1860. he did not give him a federal job he coveted. and when carter tried to troops in illinois lincoln actually told him he was embarrassing him because he didn't have enough supplies for all the regiments that had volunteered. ultimately, the best he can do is follow schertz as ambassador to madrid or to spain. when schertz come
