Good old Abe, shifting the blame for the war to Someone else. Particularly ironic considering that his closest friends were skeptics and routinely defended Lincoln from ‘accusations’ that he was a believer.
Personally, I find Lincoln’s political and historical analysis to be the best of that era, most prominently in his 1858 “House Divided” speech, his two Inaugural Addresses, and the Gettysburg Address.
While certainly a partisan for Union, he was always statesmanlike and charitable towards his southern brethren, I think.
And I still believe that had he lived, the post-war era would have been vastly better for all involved than it turned out to be.
