Lincoln suspended habeus corpus, had all telegraph traffic routed through the War Department, closed newspapers hostile to his actions, sent the Army into rebellious states to bring them back under federal authority and blockaded southern ports.

It has to be Lincoln.

Yeah, has to be Lincoln. Situation much more dire now, infinitely so.

What if a former President used the military to save the country and we were never told about it? Are there any signs in our history that would be a clue? Kennedy said he would bring them down right before he was killed. Did he do it and was killed because of it? Is that possible?
