He’s defending the unconditional surrender policy and the push for the 13th Amendment against people who think he should compromise. Part of that defense is denying that his approach is motivated by malice or thirst for vengeance. — PolitiTweet.org

I think it’s awfully eccentric to read this as a message of reconciliation; what Lincoln is saying is that damage inflicted by Union arms on the South reflects the judgment of a righteous God rather than ill-will on the part of him personally or the northern public. https://t.co/FraJLHZPGL — PolitiTweet.org

The movie Lincoln (2012) got caught up in a vortex of Obama Discourse but it’s a good exploration of this point — the Union had the upper hand militarily but the war was brutal and there was pressure for compromise that Lincoln resisted. He was pragmatic but fixed on a goal. — PolitiTweet.org
