certainly in the time that peter mentioned, but by the fall of --6, there was no question untiltrikes me, even february of 66, it is hard to distinguish what johnson does or what lincoln would have done. except that he goes farther then lincoln high exam thing landowners from the proclamation. talked ably with some of the problems about the movie. but to me, the real crime of the lincoln movie is that it suggests what i think is a truly pernicious view that lincoln would have, you know, embraced the south and would have embraced them as equal partners. instead we got all this bad period because the united states didn't do that. that i find to be an extremely pernicious view. in fact, i think lincoln's policy to the south might well have been different but i think that is a misreading of the malice toward none statement. in fact, i think that the reason that the end of the civil war, the resolution was so bloody, was not because the united states was acting harshly toward the south but because southern soldiers came home from fighting still fighting.
