Lincoln either presided over an amry that killed hundreds of thousands of his own countrymen, or he invaded a soveriegn nation after a small skirmish in one of that nation’s ports.
3 cheers for Lincoln.

He saw slavery as undermining the foundations of a free country, as did many Americans at the time, not just abolitionists. I don't think they were wrong.

It's damned unfortunate that a bunch of seditionists forced him to some unpleasant decisions. 3 cheers for Lincoln.
