Lincoln was quite easily the worst. From removing civil liberties, throwing citizens in jail with no trial or charges, using human shields during war time, not prosecuting war crimes, et al.
Sounds like someone else we know, whose only difference from that list is that he was on the side of the south.
Davis? Not hardly.
Jefferson Davis suspended
habeas corpus,
introduced the draft, and jailed Northern sympathizers. I have
never understood those Southern revanchists who make the Confederacy out to be a minarchist
wunderland, as the excesses and atrocities were about equal on both sides.
