RE: Why was Lincoln "great?"
What makes Lincoln great?
1, He won the war. If he lost (and he came close), he'd be garbage. 2, He knew how to get his way by communicating directly to the people. Jeff Davis, the great Senate orator, only knew how to ask for more sacrifice. 3, He had a clear sense of human self-dignity. Davis cared only about the aristocrats that appointed him. |
