Picking Andrew Johnson was Lincoln's big OOF moment

@theparadigm8149 5 ай бұрын

It made sense at the time and was a very pragmatic decision because Lincoln still cared about preserving the Union at all costs, though he did want slavery to be abolished. I mean, Lincoln didn’t know he would be assassinated! 😨 He wanted his vision for Reconstruction to be implemented, and for the most part, Johnson pushed for Lincoln’s vision for a little bit but then became too lenient on the south

Abraham Lincoln became the first presidential candidate to exceed two million votes in 1864. He got 2.2 million votes to McClellan's 1.8 million.

I think people forget that Presidents we now consider great weren't particularly popular at the time (FDR and Lincoln had plenty of detractors!), probably because they did the unpopular, painful but necessary things to improve a dire situation

FDR was elected 4x and with great majorities. I AM Abraham Lincoln reincarnated. The Republican Party was started in 1854 to stop the spread of slavery into the western territories which was a liberal stance. Lincoln was the first openly anti-slavery president which is why the evil conservative Southerners seceded, that and they owed NYC banks $1 billion and NYC markets took 40% of the profits from cotton, tobacco, rice, etc. In 1866, all the newly freed blacks were Republican. Beginning with Franklin Roosevelt but especially with John F. Kennedy in 1960 & LBJ in 1964, blacks switched in mass to Democrats. Today, 95% of blacks are liberal Democrats. See 7seals.blogspot.com - only the returned Christ & Einstein reincarnated could produce this. It's triggered The Apocalypse/Revelation.

@@anneson4724 I’m sorry, but no shit he kept getting elected. He kept handing out money to people for free, and extended the Great Depression. He practically paid for his votes legally, when people were extremely desperate. There’s a reason presidents can’t serve more than two terms now because of him.

@@psilocybemusashi If slavery wasn't evil, nothing is evil. The Southerners wanted to expand slavery into the West. The Knights of the Golden Circle wanted to expand slavery into Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. In 1776, Southern Plantation owners owed million$ to London banks and London markets took 40% from cotton, tobacco, rice sales. A successful rebellion would eliminate the debt and move the markets to the new country. In 1860, the grandsons of the 1776 Rebels owed $1 billion to NYC banks and NYC markets took 40% of the sale of cotton, tobacco, rice. A successful rebellion would eliminate the debt and move the markets to Charleston. Greed. The Civil War was all about the greed and evil of Southern slave owners. 'To err is human, to repent divine, to persist devilish." - Benjamin Franklin (reincarnated as Abraham Lincoln) You can either repent or be Judged for siding with evil. Are you a supporter of Donald Trump 666? See 7seals.blogspot.com - only the returned Christ and Albert Einstein reincarnated could produce that.

People do seem to forget how UNpopular Lincoln had become by the Summer of 1864, arguably the North's darkest and most fateful hour. Sherman's capture of Atlanta was the real cornerstone which sealed the deal for Lincoln. And Then Sheridan's successful shenandoah campaign in October of that same year was the cherry on top of the ICING.

@kristaskrastina2863 Жыл бұрын

Yes, he was unpopular. But McClellan's image was so trashed (we still think of him as a laughing stock!) and the Democratic program was so bad I think Lincoln would win even before Atlanta and the Shenandoah Campaign.

If the war was as unpopular as people say then why were the War Democrats able to win the Democratic Party's nomination? Just because the papers and NYC doesn't like Lincoln and the war doesn't necessarily mean the rest of the North shares the same opinion, IMO. The papers didn't like Truman or Trump either, yet they won.

@psilocybemusashi 2 жыл бұрын

maybe lincoln was effective at locking up his critics or threatening to lock them up and got him just enough good press. taking atlanta signaled that there was an end in sight to the war and that end was victory. tends to help out a president who is running a very unpopular war.

@xenophonanthony2791 Жыл бұрын

McClellan was a War Democrat, but he was popular due to his military service. McClellans’ VP; Pendleton was a Peace Democrat. The Civil War was NOT a popular war, and it resulted in dividing the Democratic Party.
