Missus Lincoln's Dresses

Lizzie Lincoln was a well known and respected member of washington's black community. Her son, george, enlisted in the army as a white man under his father's name to fight against everything slavery stood for. But he didn't actually do it under his name. He felt proud that he had white blood, white ancestors, and he wanted to use that name. Lizzie became so busy with orders she had to hire 20 assistants. The dresses were praised themselves,. And their construction.
