True Pros and Cons of Lincoln’s rise to power and the effectiveness of his administration
Many don’t know about the “uncomfortable-at-times-but-true-history” that the “victors” often cover up. Growing up and witnessing it with my own eyes on t.v. and online how things are magically memory holed or spun has made me realize something we often don’t think about. That is that this has been going on since civilization began, yet we take what we learned as children for being the end all be all of historical truth.
What are some other facts about Lincoln that aren’t mentioned in this video?
What are the overall true pro’s and con’s of his administration?
Please avoid any engaging in attributing things with any form of reading modern notions of morality into the past, or “presentism”.
I’m also curious about Jefferson, Jackson, Polk, Pierce, Taft, FDR, Eisenhower, and Wilson.
