James. M Pherson really knows his facts about president Abraham Lincoln. He focused more on Lincoln’s efforts to win the war instead of the other political things he accomplished during his presidency. Lincoln was a great commander-in-chief because he attempted to run the war and also maintain political stability at the same time. This was impressive because although he had no military experience, he was persistent in provoking his commanders to stay active and to always strive for victory. He wanted generals that would attack and destroy the Confederate army, and at the same time be able to work together as a team. Lincoln never strayed from his duties as president, even under extreme international, military, and political pressure.
