Actually Abraham Lincoln served in the Black Hawk Wars and would fall back on his experiences (he led a company) when needing to give McClellan a little push up the peninsula.

And, although it's subject for a different thread, as Lincoln helped advance the US goverment's atrocities upon the Indian, many tout "Honest Abe" as the black man's "rescuer", forgetting his helping enslave and murder a race of a different color.
