He's in love with generals. In some ways it's the only thing that's given me any hope; the fact that a couple of his generals have reasonably straight heads. But he loves swashbuckling appearance and I honestly don't think he gives two fucks about the slaves or the Trail of Tears or the Civil War for that matter.

His thoughts seem to go like "He's a general! Great!" "It was an economic war. It fits in with my idea of making deals!" "I'd better say some stuff now!"
