But for Lincoln’s death, there might have been some postwar investigations of the profiteers who supplied the Union Army with lousy war materiel. Soldiers in the field complained about leaky boots, spoiled meat, and biscuits that, when unpacked from their barrels, were crawling with maggots.
Again, but for his death, the biggest scandal of Lincoln’s career might have been the Sultana disaster.
Lincoln’s role in the explosion and sinking of the Sultana: the ship was dangerously overcrowded because Lt. Col. Reuben Hatch, quartermaster at Vicksburg, was taking kickbacks to cram as many Union soldiers as possible aboard it. Hatch already had a record of corruption when he was appointed quartermaster at Vicksburg—by none other than Lincoln. Some historians believe that Lincoln did so as a favor to Ozias Hatch, an old friend and political ally from Illinois and Reuben’s father.
But because the Sultana disaster happened so soon after Lincoln’s assassination, Congress had other priorities and little stomach for an investigation which might sully the memory of the martyred president. Besides, even if Reuben Hatch had been found responsible, he had already left the Army as quickly as possible after the disaster. So there was no possibility of his being court-martialed, and civilian courts had no jurisdiction.

French military successes in 1796 revealed that Napoleon was gaining control, fame and experience.
In 1796, Bonaparte took command of the French Army in Italy, which successfully led to the invasion of that country. He managed to take the Austrian forces out of Lombardy with his victory in the Battle of the Bridge of Arcole and defeated the army of the Papal States.
Following the protest of Pope Pius VI for the execution of King Louis XVI, France responded by annexing two small papal territories. However, Bonaparte ignored the orders of the Directory to march against Rome and dethrone the Pope.
In 1797, Bonaparte, commanding the army, defeated four Austrian generals whose troops were superior in number and forced Austria to sign a peace agreement. The resulting Treaty of Campoformio gave France control over most of northern Italy, as well as that of the Netherlands and the Rhine area. A secret clause promised to grant Venice to Austria. Bonaparte marched against Venice, occupying it and ending with more than 1,000 years of independence. That year, he organized the occupied territories in Italy in what became known as the Cisalpine Republic.
Bonaparte managed to absorb the essential military knowledge of his time and apply it successfully. As a planner on the battlefield, he was well known for his creativity in artillery mobilization tactics. However, its success was not only due to its innovative character, but also to its deep knowledge and intelligent application of conventional military tactics.
During his campaign in Italy, he became an influential figure in French politics.
