I do now:

“During his second tenure as (NY) governor, (Seymour) became a leading Northern opponent of President Abraham Lincoln’s administration during the American Civil War. Seymour protested Lincoln’s restriction of civil liberties, as well as the Emancipation Proclamation and the Union’s military draft. He advocated the vigorous prosecution of the war, but protested against Lincoln’s extensive use of executive war powers.”

Sound familiar?
