        Firing squad for every uniformed officer and forced relocation for every man left standing still in uniform.

        Move them all up to reservations in New Hampshire, where they can't hurt anybody.

      Andrew Johnson stopped America from saving itself. Not usually a great man theorist, but I can't imagine Lincoln would have undone every good thing about Reconstruction.

          Yeah it was a genuine moment of liberals being "compromise is our ideology." Just to appease the Democratic states that didn't secede and hoping to appease the South after conquering them. But for electoral purposes, there was no reason he needed to add Johnson to the ticket.
