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.

7. Columbia is America, and she's saying to all the protesters in the background (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.

'''H4)''' I think Johnson was more misunderstood then anything else. He didn't even get into office by his own power, but instead placed there after Lincoln was killed. That's one problem. The other is Lincoln left a huge mess of the States. Not that it was Lincoln's fault, but the war had just ended, the South was grumbling as the North tried to set them in their place, and the dead were still being mourned. Johnson was blunt, that's another problem. Blunt speakers in a way should be treasures since they only speak what they see, so one can find out if there's something wrong with the way something is being done, but many people can easily take offense by this.

Congress also attempted to control him. They passed an Act that would require Senate aproval for the president to fire his own Cabinet. This kept Johnson from firing Edwin Stanton who at the time was the Secretary of War, and also a part of the "Radical Republicans". Johnson attempted to fire him anyways, and these Radical Republicans decided that was reason enough to have him impeached.

 

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.
