Will in the north is eroding just like the Confederates are hoping for because the cost of blood of this war is unprecedented.

And yet that will continued for almost another two years and kept armies in the field significantly larger than Confederate ones up until the inevitable victory.

It may not have continued had Gettysburg went the other way. I think that is the man’s point.

Also the man in the video points out that in 1863, Lincoln had an Ohio congressman arrested for speaking out against the war. Because he thought this might generate enough outrage to cause him problems, he then ordered that this Ohio Congressman be turned over to the confederates under a flag of truce, thus effectively stopping him from continuing his speech tour of the Midwest.

Arresting Congressmen, Arresting News paper editors, arresting pretty much anyone who dared criticize the war, and yet the idea that he would order the arrest of a Supreme Court justice is crazy?

Not at all crazy. Perfectly consistent with his past behavior.
