The answer to the question: Who wrote: "No triumphal march of a conqueror could have equalled in moral sublimity the humble manner in which he entered Richmond", would be: Isaac J. Hill.

Explanation:

This excerpt is taken from a group of letters written after the end of the Civil War, in the 1800s, and it was written by Isaac J. Hill, a man who wrote the bigger "A Sketch of the 29th Regiment of Connecticut Colored Troops", from which this small line on the question arises. In this letter, Hill describes precisely the moment when he, and a group of people, see President Abraham Lincoln arrivimng in the city of Richmond, Virginia, in the simplest manner possible, even though he had been the great winner of the War. He was taken aback precisely because he could not imagine that a man like Lincoln, who was coming in as the conqueror, could act so humbly, and simply. This happened on April of 1865, at the end of the Civil War.
