Lincoln and Hamlin?

[Wild Bill]

Andrew Johnson fell victim to revisionist historians and the second Reconstruction or modern Civil Rights movement of the era after the 1950s. Hence one can read anything published before WW II and he is a hero standing valiantly against the vindictive Radical Republicans who screwed up Lincoln's notion of a just peace. I believe the movie was Van Heflin "Tennessee Johnson." Laurie's college text by Claude Bowers typified this.

After WW II especially beginning with Eric Mckittrick's "Andrew Johnson and Reconstruction" he becomes an inept politician who stands idiotically against justice for black Americans and punishment of the traitors who promoted Secession and the CW

Laurie, Murray Rothbard was of the so-called Austrian School of economics and a leading proponent of Libertarianism.
