Since the Civil War children in this country were taught that Washington and Lincoln were the epitomes of the presidential lineage. Lincoln’s legacy was strongly burnished by the education establishment that flourished late in the 19th century. The Civil War was a myth-making vehicle for them, and they needed a patron saint to justify the carnage.
