If Davis would’ve been allowed to have his day in court we might have got an answer to weather or not secession was legal. The federal government got a taste of unrestricted power and it liked it so no chance for a loss in the court room to take that from them. The handed out pardons like invitations to a birthday party. It’s not hard to see that power flexed in modern times, all those alphabet agencies or a prime example in my opinion. I wonder if Grant would’ve been ok with shooting a mother at the sink holding her child or burning a church full of children. I won’t ask about Sherman because he seems like a fan of such activities.
