We didn't have Germans or Japanese on our own soil, bombarding our cities and grain facilities with suicide drones or even manned bombers on a nightly basis.
BTW during our Civil War, Lincoln banned the "Copperhead" party of Northerners who opposed the war, and even arrested an opposition Congressman and drove him into exile. He also suspended habeas corpus by diktat in 1862, in open defiance of the Constitution.
So... Lincoln was steaming hunk of dogs**t who is roasting in hell right now - where hr belongs.
What’s your point?
