He probably holds the record for death and destruction of Americans since he argued that the Confederacy never existed.

That record stands with jeff davis who instigated and waged war against his fellow Americans.

Washington didn't kill all that many of his fellow British Subjects. Of course, King George III was not as fanatical about subjugating a populace as was King Lincoln I. He quit after 15,000 casualties for the entire war.

Lincoln would accept that many for a single battle.

I always enjoy reading the Lincoln fan club shift the credit for the war.

You’d think that it was Jeff Davis who had called for an army of 75,000 troops, for the purpose of invading the north and forcing them into the Confederacy.

And that the bulk of Civil War battles occurred in northern states with Union troops fighting invading Confederate armies. Poor Lincoln- he had to fight off those invaders.
