Washington vs. Lincoln . . . .

[redcliffsw]

Lincoln's Union forced the will of one section on the other, and his Republican Party openly admitted theirs was a crusade to "forge a new Union" and remake America.

Washington held the Union together through his statesmanship. Lincoln held it together by the bayonet. Washington accepted self-determination. Lincoln waged a war against it.

Washington was "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen," the "Father of His Country."

Lincoln inherited a federal republic and created a myth of national supremacy. Washington never pretended to be anything but the president of a federal republic.

The chasm between Washington and Lincoln is larger than the reflecting pool or one spot in a historical presidential ranking.

Lincoln has become America and America is worse for it.
