Negative Positive
Title: Revisionism !!!
Review: Lincoln among many others both of the north and south, thought that the impending war was going to be short. Certainly not the long bloody conflict that was the Civil War. One of the reasons that the war was so bloody was because the tools of warfare were far ahead of strategy and the means to care for and aid the wounded was still in the middle ages. If indeed slavery was going to end by its own accord, this must not have been known to the supporters of slavery, for why make an issue of wanting slavery to extend to new territories ???Jeff Davis said that he wish he could have exercised some the powers that Lincoln did, such as suspension of habeas corpus.The southern states were a bunch a selfish fiefdoms and that caused them the war. You bitter eager critics of Lincoln, he realized what was needed to win the conflict and he did what was necessary to win it.
Is the review positive or negative?
