14 December 1863 - PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN PARDONS HIS SISTER-IN-LAW:
Lincoln pardons his relative, the widow of a Confederate general. When 
a Union general grouses about her presence at the White House, Lincoln 
retorts, "My wife and I are in the habit of choosing our own guests. 
We do not need from our friends either advice or assistance in the 
matter."
