Dont know this for certain, why Im asking:
Wasnt Lincoln involved in some fairly shady activity? I remember reading that his successor, Andrew Johnson, was essentially impeached for things done by Lincoln that he would have been tried for, had he not been assassinated. If someone knows more, please post.
Just illustrating that no president was perfect, and its more the traits we admire in others that we should emulate instead of the person himself. Its okay to admire Clinton for the good things he did in office without thinking of the Monica thing, and its okay to admire Reagan for the things he did, even if in '47 his weekend softball team was racially disproportionate.
