Of course, Lincoln wasn't a big fan of that policy, what with sending in the troops to shut down Newspapers critical of his Administration and its policy vis-a-vis the South. Oh, and then suspending habeus corpus to make sure that those people don't get out for a long time.
So.... Lincoln and Jefferson: Undead fight to the death! er... resurrection?
