Every single Taney biographer, and Taney himself, is a Lincoln apologist? Who knew?
Lincoln arrested far FAR more people in his war of aggression which he started.
In whole numbers. If a country with a population of 30 million arrests 50,000 people while a country with a population of 5 million arrests on 25,000 people then in which country do you have a greater chance of being arrested. I'll give you a hint, the second one.
Except as the article lays out, Lincoln did sign the order and several people knew about it - including Taney himself.

I've produced a source saying upwards of 38,000 arrested by Lincoln without charge or trial. I produced another source - a PC Revisionist at that - who says Davis arrested far fewer people and suspended habeas corpus far less. In support of your claim to the contrary you've provided.....Mark Neely. LOL!
