@paninid @cstross The North won the war but lost Reconstruction.

@michaelgemar @paninid @cstross You can thank Booth for a lot of that. Johnson was a complete bungler.

@StumpyTheMutt @michaelgemar @paninid @cstross Johnson had this quote once when he was campaigning for senate or something where he told people they should not be growing cotton, they should be growing hemp (lol). He meant that they should use it for ropes and should hang the plantation owners.

But I think that something happened to make him think that this line of thinking was bad for his health and he folded pretty quick once he became president.

@Montaagge @StumpyTheMutt @michaelgemar @paninid Boris Johnson? Or some other Johnson?
