Lincoln didn’t start the war. He did a pretty good job of winning it though.
Yeah he did.
“pretty good job”? You mean by sending wave after wave of Union soldiers to their deaths in a war of attrition worthy of Stalin in WWII (much worse than LBJ or Nixon), and by waging war on women and children to the tune of 850,000 dead, 2 million refugees, and the thorough physical destruction of 2/3 of the geographical U.S. while also ravaging the Constitution. I’d say it was a Pyrrhic victory at best.
