    I have always said that if Lincoln had been a truly great president, he would have found a way to resolve the issue without egging on a war.
    Armchair quarterbacking the civil war?
    Even with the benefit of hindsight being 20/20, I'm not sure the parties involved could have been brought together without violence. Possibly could have split the country and let the south atrophy while the north prospered industrially. Really hard to tell how thing would've shaken out.

    All of his saber rattling certainly decreased the odds of a resolution.

    Or suspending habeas corpus...

    Or ignoring SCOTUS' ruling on habeas corpus...

    Or arresting journalists...

    Or a number of other things...

    To avoid a derail, enjoy the photo!

    So. How would you have done it diferently and gotten a different result? Are we better off together? Or would navigating the 150 yrs after the civil war have been better accomplished separately? With as good a set of results?

    How "close" are they? 3 meters? A hundred yards? I wonder?

    Polish on your Papa's side? Is that Polish at your avatar?
    No, Spanish (not hispanic or latinx) and Scot.

    The saying is loosely translated to Czech - First to Know - Last to care! 20 years in the MI branch of the Army - from collection in the field to a stint at Disneyland East - I learned to do my job well no matter what was done (or not done) with the data.

    So you believe the only way for unity was a war?

    Who knows, maybe we would have done better separately.
