Both parties disapproved of war but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive and the other would accept war rather than let it perish?

No doubt both parties claimed that they disapproved of war. But by the time Lincoln got elected, there weren't many pacifists around on either side. The South was so sure it could beat the North that it was willing to risk a war, rather than accept Lincoln's ban on new slave-states. (Remember, Lincoln had not insisted on abolition, only on no extension of the slave-empire.) And some of Lincoln's cabinet were willing to fight the Confederates and the British at the same time, following the US naval capture of Confederate envoys from a British ship.


Why was the Japanese to ally casualty ratio in World War II so high?

The Japanese soldiers (and people) were taught that the worst thing they could do was surrender. Thus whole families committed suicide, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese fought to the death rather than allow themselves to be taken prisoner. Peace and cease fire overtures were always rejected by the Japanese, who were willing to sacrifice every person living on the islands during an invasion.

What Union general was known as tardy George during the US Civil War?

George McClellan, an indecisive Union commander who Abraham Lincoln dubbed as having a case of "the slows." While President Lincoln was unhappy with McClellan was clear. What dims the harsh term used against McClellan was the fact that on two occasions, President Lincoln first promoted him to General in Chief, then reversed himself, then after relieving him of duty with regards to the Army of the Potomac, Lincoln then reappointed him to lead that army over the objections of his cabinet.

Was Abraham Lincoln a cheerleader?

No- I have never heard Lincoln called a cheerleader and I doubt that he would answer to that name. I see a cheerleader as someone who stays on the sidelines and roots for a favorable outcome rather than getting into the game and doing things. That was not Lincoln. On the contrary, my dear, George Washington was a fine cheerleader.
