  • Abraham Lincoln wasn’t exactly a mastermind strategist. The South was beating the crap out of the North in the early years of the Civil War despite a massive technological advantage almost entirely due to strategy.

    It took a number of lucky bounces for the Union to end up winning, including the proper people getting promoted into positions of leadership due to the failures/deaths of others and Lee getting overly confident and botching Gettysburg.

    Don’t get me wrong, Lincoln was a great leader, but he was never a military genius of any kind.
