Because you would say it was the Lincoln election when he was re-elected, but the dude died, right? So Andrew Johnson, he fucking wrecked everything. The most important assassination of the world history was Lincoln.

But I honestly think that the most important thing on this episode is that Alex thinks that only two people were charged in the assassination of Lincoln.

Then the biggest issue is that for a decade after the Civil War, Lincoln didn't want to break down the South. He didn't want to follow a Sherman's model of Reconstruction. He got shot in the back of the head. By John Wilkes Booth, we're told. Really, the evidence points towards that being a setup that a lot of folks wanted to loot the South. A lot of Northern industrialists wanted to take it over the railroads.
