What did Mr. Lincoln enjoy doing?

[LincolnMan]

Meade was ticked off at Doubleday for some reason and after Gettysburg had Abner resassigned to somewhere in upstate NY
Lincoln got wind of this, and put Doubleday back in the main ranks, regardless of Meade's orders.
Meade was also not an easy person to get along with

Doubleday was a Republican and Lincoln supporter. I wonder where Meade leaned politically? I think it significant that Doubleday from present for Lincoln's Gettysburg dedication.
