Abraham Lincoln's political weakness was empathy - the toll the war took on his psychology (already fragile because of depression shared and potentially generated by his unstable wife) was unimaginable, and kept him from becoming the kind of ruthless leader that a shell-shocked south would have responded positively to. Instead his Generals were public bogeymen, and he was considered a joke (rather than a commander to be feared) to the Confederate population at the height of the war.
