Introduction

While in Richmond on April 4, Lincoln met with Judge John A. Campbell, a Confederate official he had met at a secret peace conference two months earlier. Campbell knew that the end of the Confederacy was near and was looking for ways to withdraw gracefully. Though in hindsight it appears short-sighted and ill-advised, Lincoln’s meeting with Campbell was an expression of his non-vindictive intentions.
