What evidence in the text shows that black residents of richmond were excited to see lincoln?

From the way the event depicted in the local paper.

Explanation:

A Black journalist named T. Morris Chester was tasked to document the day when Abraham Lincoln came to visit Richmond.

Within the paper, he wrote that the Black citizens of Richmond "shouted that the President had arrived" and "thousands of persons had followed him" as he walked around the neighborhood.

This proofed that black residents of Richmond were excited to see Lincoln due to his role in abolishing the slavery.

i think the answer is true : ))
