But all he had was slash and burn. And so many civilians died. Many, many people died in that war. But I don't think Lincoln would have failed to use any technology that would have cut down the number of deaths. In those days, death was far more accepted fatalistically, however.

Had Lincoln had the benefit of today's technology, he would have used it. He might also have lived through his second term, because the SS has more technology.
