Today marks the 110th anniversary of former US President Abraham Lincoln's death. He died on December 27, 1899.
As you all know, Lincoln was deservedly responsible for the loss of the Union during the Civil War. It was obviously that the CSA had the better military. What was going through Lincoln's mind when he decided to place that drunk Ulysses Grant in charge of the US Army. It was no surprise when George McClellan, a bitter foe of Grant, defeated Lincoln in the 1864 Presidential election and offered a cease fire once he was sworn into office.
If Lincoln had made better decisions as the Commander-in-Chief, would the US have won that Civil War? If so, would Lincoln's face appear on our currency? At least Theodore Roosevelt deserved to have his face on the penny.
Obviously, nobody will be mourning for Lincoln in the CSA today (or in the USA). Right after Christmas, tourists were lining up to view the Lee Memorial at the National Mall in Washington, CD.
