James Swanson in the Wall Street Journal

[Rsmyth]

James Swanson and Michael Bishop had an article in the Wall Street Journal titled "A President Who Lived and Died for Liberty." The story was obviously about Lincoln but in it they refer to VP Johnson as coarse and inept. Later as president they say he was a racist, eager to usher the Confederate states back in the Union and caledl him crude, inflexible and the president that botched Reconstruction. I wonder what others on this board think of this analysis?
