Question

In the article, Winik says that many former Confederates in 1865 viewed Abraham Lincoln as a "Bonaparte." This is a reference to Napoleon Bonaparte, a self-important French military and political leader who appointed himself emperor of France in the early 1800’s. Why would some people in post-Civil War America hold this critical view of Lincoln, the man we celebrate today for his leadership in the Civil War, and for ending slavery?

Answer 1

since the civil war two sides. it makes sense that the South would hold a negative view of Lincoln. they would view him as a "bonaparte"because he decided to make a decision for the whole country (his Empire) rather than letting slavery continue in the south but be abolished in the north .......
