Thanks for this thread, Charles. And I agree that Lincoln was arguably our greatest president, despite doing some things (suspending the writ of habeas corpus for one) with which I would have disagreed at the time.

And let us ask: how beloved was he by the modern press? He was rather hated, as I recall.

Let that be a lesson to us—as if we needed one after watching today’s media.
