And there you have it. While some might enjoy fishing, others golf, and many simply wanting to get together with friends & family for a little football, there is a very small number who seek only to amass power over others.
We may wish to believe this isn't so, that all people have some type of inherent goodness and sociability, but it's a lie. The most obvious of these psychopaths are common criminals, yet the same strain runs through others more crafty & cunning.
While patriots were still fighting the British for independence, you can be assured that some were already gaming potential outcomes. As the poster above noted, Hamilton already had it all figured out before the ink was even dry.
Lincoln may have been acting under what he believed were noble pretenses; so to Confederates. However, it mattered not a whit to those who were hedged regardless of the outcome(s).

Well said. I have nothing to add.
