True on the surface but some trivia can inspire and inform children to pursue their passions, besides just history. I think it’s fair to say that public education could try to more “flavor up” history discussion with more of the interesting details without wasting kids energy learning about the Mali gold rush
I agree that the Civil War did help ferment the federal overreach that we see nowadays but I wouldn't necessarily call the Civil War "his war" since at that point the war was going to happen due to the massive distrust between the North and South. All it took was a spark in the munitions plant to start the war.
I see it as Abe doing what he needed to. Maybe it's because I've actually been to the museum in Springfield, grew up in Illinois, but when you realize the British were ready to invade, congress hated you, and every general until Grant and Sherman were idiots, yeah it makes sense you'd kick some slaver ass by mobilizing the entire country and shutting up the LIBERAL press, I think it's justified. I hate this rewrite of history because everyone is mad that Abe used government to kick some spoiled assholes up the ass, which is what it was. The only problem was that he didn't live long enough to seal up the power. Thank you booth for creating the hell we live in Today.
God damnit, do the troons have to ruin everything with their bullshit
The racism stuff would've still happen anyways, it's not like the north was a bastion of tolerance either. Just ask the Irish and Italians and Natives.
Oh I'm not saying he would have magiked away racism. Far from it. But reconstruction would have gone smoother, instead of Johnson taking over and creating a bigger rift between north and south than before.
The US throughout most of its history... like people seem to think it's never been racist outside of the Deep South. Ever heard of Wounded Knee?
Right, the thing that most critics of Lincoln's supposed tyranny is the context of what was going on. I'm sure any leader that faced what Lincoln was up against, they'd probably do the same things Lincoln did in order to win. Booth really did jump the gun with killing Abe since he was ironically the best choice for the South come Reconstruction.
The Constitution actually gives the president the right to suspend habeas corpus in the event of invasion or open rebellion when the public safety is threatened. And a monarchist? What is he basing that on?
From what I could gather, the criticism was that Lincoln invoked and used War Powers without approval from Congress. Whereas previous presidents waited until the approval from Congress at a set time to use some of the War Powers.

Guess he sees a hole in the "clean your room" and the "somewhat intellectual man obsessed with lobsters" market.
