What was Lincoln criticized for?
He was highly criticized by many for calling on 75,000 Union troops to put down the rebellion in South Carolina. See, he wanted to resupply Fort Sumter in South Carolina, but South Carolina seceded from the Union, along with Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. They made their own country and called it The Confederate States of America. Their president was Jefferson Davis. So you have a Union Fort in a Confederate state. Lincoln could either supply it and risk war, or he could ignore it an prolong the inevitable war. He chose to supply it. Then when war broke out, he tried to stop it by sending 75,000 Union troops. I am not sure why he was criticized.
