Abraham Lincoln first offered the 1864 vice presidential nomination to Ben Bulter, who turned it down.

Lincoln must have been favorably impressed with Beast's administration of New Orleans.

Back to ex parte Milligan. As Milligan's lawyer, Garfield probably thought Lincoln was wrong in ex parte Milligan. So we have one Republican president who thinks another Republican president was wrong. They can't both be right. Which one was correct, GOP?

Butler was a War Democrat, unlike all those pro-rebel Copperhead Democrats. He did an excellent job cleaning up New Orleans, which was a crime and disease-ridden pit until he took over.
