Lincoln Rejects the King of Siam's Offer of Elephants
After last week's post about the White Elephant in Thailand, I thought I would share a related story. During the Civil War, the King of Siam offered to send elephants
(though not White ones) to President Lincoln. You
can read President Lincoln's response in today's Share Spotlight post.
What do you think of Lincoln's diplomatic refusal? How do you think Elephants could have been used in the Civil War? Does this change how you see the global perspective on the Civil War?
