According to Bensel's study.
13 is a pretty high number for a nation formed to 'resist Northern tyranny'
Since your so into the habit of making comparisons I'll let you tell me. Which is greater: 18 or 13?
And ofcourse, Bensel is the final word on this matter!
Can't tell you that. He is, however, one of the more reputable scholars who has attempted to quantify the comparison.
Davis had to do the same thing.
Not quite. Bensel's stats show Davis did it less than Lincoln, thus it is not the "same thing." We also know that where Davis and Lincoln have been criticized over similar types of abuses - foremost among them being habeas corpus - that Lincoln's violations of habeas corpus far exceeded Davis'.
Gee, and that difference between the two means what?

And do you have a reference for his work or a link?

Well, according to another poster, that may not be the case.
