Wasn’t another one that Samurai, the telegraph and Lincoln were all alive in the same time period so you could have a Samurai send an electronic message to Lincoln.
The fax machine, actually
Fax machines are an ancient and archaic magicks, we dare not meddle.
Yeah, meanwhile in reality Karl Marx sent a letter to Lincoln.
Well, yes, but I don't think there were lines connecting the two.
That said, Matthew Perry (not that one) had already reestablished relations with Japan during Lincoln's time
I mean the Samurai wasn’t fixed to Japan if the lines didn’t reach there. He could have made his way to America
So Chandler sent a samurai a fax which was then forwarded to Lincoln?
If memory serves me right there were exiled samurai in California and Mexico at the same time as the Mexican-American war so its entirely feasible to have them fighting during said war. Though as I understand they were pretty universally insular and mostly stuck to themselves.
