Not a Lincoln fan. He was brilliant, but he oversaw events that led to the death of 500k+ Americans. This cannot be construed as a win.

Actually more than 600000, many of which were young boys that died a miserable death. The Lincoln war had brother killing brother and Americans butchering Americans. No good president would ever allow that to happen.

Lincoln played the cards that were dealt to him by southern slavers. The only thing he “oversaw” was the salvation of our nation.

Jeff Davis had a little to do with the deaths of these men. He should have known that the Yankees would never permit the South to go peaceably.
