Lincoln and Hamlin?

[Gene C]

On the light side, Lincoln may have spared Hamlin from becoming one of the most disliked and despised Presidents in history.
Lincoln had his shortcomings, but he also had his virtues. He was a tough act to follow, and whoever replaced him was going to face many challenges. In my opinion Johnson fell way short, he did not have the personality or character to be able to deal effectively with the situations he faced.
