Grant and Lincoln (1911)
George Wharton leaves his Southern home to fight for the North. While in camp be chastises a fellow officer for insulting a lady and thereby gains his enmity. George's sister has a sweetheart, who is a Confederate officer, Robert E. Lee. He was now a prisoner in the Union camp, and therefore when Martha wrote a letter to her brother George, she enclosed a note to Robert E. Lee, a namesake of the famous General Lee. George gets his mail, but unfortunately drops the letter to Lee, which falls into the hands of his enemy. The latter opens it, only to find a harmless missive. Notwithstanding, he forges an incriminating letter, supposedly for Gen. Robert E. Lee, and places it in the original envelope, laying it where George will find it. With this accomplished, George is arrested through his enemy's connivance, tried and condemned. The lad now sends a note to his sweetheart, the girl he had saved from insult, and she informs his sister. His sweetheart attempts an audience with Grant, but with no avail. Before this took place, the Confederate officer had escaped. Meanwhile, George's sister also arrives and is also refused the pardon by Gen. Grant. She snatches a revolver from the belt of his servant and forces the general, at its point, to grant her request. The girl now dashes off to tell her story to Lincoln. Just then the Confederate officer, who had been re-captured, is brought in and he verifies her story. The pardon is granted. While George's sweetheart is holding up the villainous officer at the point where the condemned youth is to die. His sister rides up with Lincoln's pardon. A double union takes place, and four young people reap their reward.
