Nearly a decade later, even as he edited the draft of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in August of 1862, Lincoln hosted a delegation of freed slaves at the White House in the hopes of getting their support on a plan for colonization in Central America.
A 3-team parlay usually pays 6 to 1. If you made a $100 parlay and all three teams covered the spread, you would win $600. All of them need to cover the spread for you to win.
