3. George McClellan for his battle strategies.

'''3.''' My favorite person during the Civil War is George McClellan, namely for his battle strategies. I don't like how he acted with Lincoln, but in my opinion sometimes defensive positions were better then the offensive. There are many times when offensive is better since it would hurt your opponent and allow your side to recover, but McClellan might have been a little too protective of his armies to do that. Regardless, I think McClellan's initial sense to protect his armies is very noteworthy.

4. I don't think anything needs to have been done differently save for one thing: the             . It appears Congress didn't deal with them until two years after they formed, and those two years was plenty of time for much damage to be done.

'''5.''' I actually can't pick too much out about Lincoln that would scream, "HOMESCHOOLER!", he was "normal" when it comes to how he behaved and held himself. There are only very slight differences that could lead to homeschooling. His independent thinking, which was already stated, could have started a chain of reactions that could led to some of his more witty responses to the challenges life threw him (the McClellan letter), his willingness to listen, and his willingness to accept that there may be a God out there, even if he didn't believe before hand. Many people didn't have faith in God grow while holding a high position of leadership, homeschooling may have been that cause.

6. It would appear that in "Abraham's Dream," Columbia (America) is chasing Lincoln out of the White House while a much more dignified man takes his place.

'''6.''' It would appear that in "Abraham's Dream," Columbia (America) is chasing Lincoln out of the White House while a much more dignified man takes his place. This cartoon probably took place either right before Lincoln was in office, or right after his inaugeration since the artist is obviously stating how he thinks Lincoln should be run out of office. Either that or the artist was Southern, and really disliked Lincoln's want for a single Union of all the states.

7. Columbia is America, and she's saying to all the protesters in the background (who represent the Union laborers) that every human race was welcomed in America, that every race was allowed the right to work. If the Chinese wanted to work harder for less pay, then the Americans should respect that and allow them to work, and if Americans wanted to keep their jobs then maybe they should work as hard as the Chinese. It wasn't right for the Americans to be annoyed with the Chinese simply because they were taking their jobs. Sure, jobs may have been hard to come by, but it was for good reasons since the Chinese were willing to work harder then the Americans, so they had every right to the jobs.

'''H3)''' I don't think anyone looked down on Abraham Lincoln because he was homeschooled. Homeschooling was decently close to the norm then, since all those who could affored it were tutored privately, and the public school system was still planting its roots. Homeschooling really is no different then having a private tutor. George McClellan may have looked down on him for other reasons, maybe because McClellan himself was the odd one out.

So no, Johnson appears to have been anything but incompetant, the times were very difficult, and the people were simply looking for someone to blame.
