Wasn't Lincoln the one who wanted to have mercy on all the confederates. Yes, he insisted that no trials for treason be held.
He said 'with malice towards none', and he acted on it.

The War of Northern Aggression will always be a point of contention so long as there remains some scant freedom to dissent with ever-growing power in government.
So long as there are people who believe in freedom and realize that it is only possible through limitations against government.
The War of Northern Aggression will be fought again, in America, as she slides down the slippery slope into tyranny.
