1870. The US Senate is still paying the bills having to do with the Civil War. One claim that comes through is from Anna Ella Carroll, whose claim is associated with being the so far unrecognized author of the Tennessee Plan, a battle campaign that arguably turned the tide for the North in ultimately winning the war. Miss Carroll's claim is despite now assassinated President Lincoln at the time having not named anyone as the author of the Plan in a Proclamation requested by Congress for a day of Thanksgiving in honor of the Tennessee victory. Miss Carroll's claims are not totally dismissed by the Senate committee dealing with the issue as her documented war efforts were many and she having been known to have the ear of President Lincoln. Beyond telling the circumstances of her dealings with President Lincoln to the committee members, something that she cannot substantiate with documentation, her story with respect to the Tennessee Plan and her official or unofficial as the case may be place in history with it is presented.
