Lincoln was known to be a schizophrenic freak. He attacked the South knee jerk behavior allying with democrat terrorists against family collected southerners.
Lincoln is the first antifamily president. For him it was lawyer DC bureaucracy schizo dealings before anything, an America imaged as a club after himself.
Just like Donald Trump, but only seemed so to people who hated him, hated Republicans generally, hated the United States and wanted us destroyed.
So consider the source.
JudgemAll: "He attacked the South knee jerk..."
Lincoln did not attack "the South" at all until after Jefferson Davis attacked US troops in Fort Sumter, forcing them to surrender, and after the Confederacy formally declared war against the United States (May 6, 1861).
Even then, during the civil war's first year, more battles were fought in Union states & territories than in the Confederacy, and more Confederate soldiers died in the Union that year than in the Confederacy.
It began as a War of Southern Aggression against the United States.
JudgemAll: "Lincoln is the first antifamily president."
Again as with President Trump, only in the eyes of those who hated him, hated Republicans generally, hated the United States and wanted us destroyed.
JudgemAll: " For him it was lawyer DC bureaucracy schizo dealings before anything, an America imaged as a club after himself."
And yet again, that's just pure Democrat psychological projection.
Unlike President Trump, President Lincoln was legally able to replace virtually the entire Washington, DC, bureaucracy with loyal Republicans -- or at least men he hoped would be loyal, not all proved to be.
It's a reason ousted Democrat bureaucrats were so eager to find a new government (in Montgomery or Richmond) they could latch onto.
After the Civil War they changed the laws to prevent future presidents (like Donald Trump) from increasing unemployment among Democrat bureaucrats.
