Ummm,......it isn't very hard at all to find all the info you need about Napolitano and his self-admitted "contrarian" views about Lincoln. His "feelings" on the matter have been debunked by real historians. My advice, especially to CBW, would be to drop the matter and not sully a Civil War thread with the "judges" views on it. It is curious to me that CBW should put forth the views of a man who is thought to be, shall we say, light in the loafers. But perhaps that's what "cowboy way" means. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Meanwhile, CBW, I am hard at work on studying your question very carefully and working on my answer.
