No one has a perfect personality, President Lincoln as well. However, he was not shy about admitting mistakes, at least most of the time. When he learned that Vicksburg had surrendered, he wrote to General US Grant a note of congratulations, and included that his own strategy for attacking Vicksburg was wrong. He applauded Grant for taking the initiative and for using his own methods in attacking Vicksburg.
