I would say he shouldn't have started it, but in the position he was in, It doesn't look like he had much choice.

As for being "weak" in prosecuting the war, I think the real problem was the reluctance of the leadership to engage in a conflict many of them thought ill advised and detrimental to all concerned.

I think many of the early Union Army leadership, such as McClellan, didn't really want to fight with the South, and only did so reluctantly because those were their orders.

I think some of them suffered moral pangs about invading the South to stop them from having their independence.

You probably don’t have all the information on Lincoln.

He was up against the cabal, meaning the Vatican and all its various means. They’ve distorted the history.

Lincoln was courageous and honest, and he made wise decisions against his own personal gain. It doesn’t get better than that.

[cowboyusa]

Jackson would had no such problems.

[reasonisfaith]

Lincoln told the truth in ways that improved the world and honored God.

Darwin told massive lies in ways that served the devil.

[cowboyusa]

i don’t like his Whigish Economic policies.

[reasonisfaith]

The pro-slavery cabal in Rome orchestrated our civil war and they killed Lincoln.

[reasonisfaith]

Your criticism of Lincoln is very weak.

[DiogenesLamp]

Jackson would had no such problems.

In the 1830s, he was old, and wasn't likely going to be leading any armies anywhere. Additionally, the North wasn't so powerful as it later became. Also, people were a lot closer to the founding era in the 1830s, and they understood that states had a right to be independent, more so than the later generation of 1860.

Had the South chose to leave at that time, they would have stood a much better chance of it than they did later, after 30 more years of their pouring money into the North to build up it's infrastructure and industrial capacity.

[cowboyusa]

As,I said, I don’t care for his Whigish policies, and his soft Generals.

[reasonisfaith]

Let’s remember who and what the cabal is.

They’re liars, thieves and more than anything else, cowards. It’s how they gained power.

Their weakness is in their lying game—as it becomes known to the people, their power goes away.

[reasonisfaith]

But you seem to know nothing.

[HighSierra5]

Billions of people have lived on earth. There’s only 365 days in a year. You have a good chance that someone in the same room has the same birthday as yourself.

Pfft.

Lincoln and the truth were not complete strangers but mild acquaintances.

[central_va]

Was Abe honest when he planned to send all the slaves to the Caribbean or back to Africa after the war?

[cowboyusa]

South Carolina was ALWAYS the trouble maker, and imho dragged the rest of the South, outside of the Deep South into a war they were reluctant to fight. Particularly Virginia.

my dad’s favorite actor of the 60’s was john wilkes booth...

This certainly seems consistent with what I know of the history. I wonder what made South Carolina so irksome?
