Lincoln / Stanton relationship

[Mylye2222]

The Lincoln-Stanton relationship is extraordinary.
After the humiliation Stanton threw at Lincoln in Cincinnati, how many men would have spent their lives holding grudges after such assault? If those words such as "giraffe" or "ape" were said, it was total déshumanisation. Yet Lincoln loved his nation so much he was able to put it behind for its interests. And besides, he could acknowledge Stantons potential, beyond personal character.
