The story, perhaps apocryphal, is that President Lincoln invited her to the White House in the middle of the Civil War and said to her, "So you're the little lady who started this great war."
Priča, možda lažna, kaže da ju je predsjednik Lincoln pozvao u Bijelu kuću usred Građanskog rata i rekao joj: "Ti si djevojka koja je započela ovaj ogroman rat."
