Let’s not forget that Andrew Johnson did not want to exactly be hard on the South. The Republican Congress and the rest of Lincoln’s Cabinet drove a lot of this. Johnson was impeached, and darn near convicted. Lincoln would have likely built up more good will, but I am not sure he would be beyond impeachment if the Republicans in Congress thought he was being to lenient with the “rebels”.
Lincoln wanted to return the slaves to Africa I do believe. Any confirmation?
JFK wanted to get us out of Viet Nam after he got reelected. True?
