This is not a denigration but I often believe that Lincoln is overwrought.

Any reasonably competent leader would look down, see that he has a relatively weak hand, but know that the only manner in which to preserve the nation is to move all in.

1. He gets away with it.
2. He gets killed.

Suddenly, he's a Top Five President.

Again, not knocking but I believe we lose some candor due to his manner of death. (Similar occurred with Kennedy.)

Am I the only person who thinks this?
