Woodrow Wilson had government thugs beating up newspaper editors. Lincoln arrested and deported his opponent. War lets politicians do things they can’t do during peace. Churchill told the former king if he so much as opened his Nazi loving mouth he’d have him assassinated. Sent him off to an island in the Caribbean.
“Lincoln arrested and deported his opponent.”
Stephen Douglas died of natural causes in 1861 and his personal relationship with Lincoln was warm and cordial to the very end. Douglas may have been a Democrat but he was also an ardent supporter of the Union, he opposed secession, and would have never been arrested for sedition let alone deported to the CSA.

Okay, so Woodrow Wilson had some redeeming points despite being a Democrat, I guess I’ll have to concede liking the man just a little bit more now. Thank you for the information!
