 * 1) It is broad in its scope.

 * Images are tagged and copyright status check out at present. Please note that changes in Wikipedia licensing may change the status of these pictures, see Wikipedia_talk:Image_copyright_tags/Public_domain/Mistagged_images. Jezhotwells (talk) 16:18, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * A caption for the photograph in the infobox would be good, perhaps when taken, his status at that time? Likewise for the later picture (looking at Lincoln) Jezhotwells (talk) 16:18, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * A few minor points: Lead expansion, reconsider caption for photos, on hold for now. Jezhotwells (talk) 16:18, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I was actually considering reviewing this, so I'll add some comments I don't see mentioned above. (My guess is that this has to do with a change of attitude about war-related issues. You really need to write more about this.  If possible, you should also characterize his legal work, especially if it deals with war-related issues.) --  Magic ♪piano 17:23, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * citations should all be either before or after punctuation; consistency, please
 * What is The South?
 * What is the "so-called conversion"? (If it's something he's somehow known for, why isn't it in the lead?)


 * I fully concur with all of those points, thanks Magic . Jezhotwells (talk) 00:09, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The lead still needs expansion. Some information about his wife and family is needed. The points raised by Magic have not been addressed. I am failing this for now, please bring back when these points have ben addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 16:59, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
