the chart is dumb because the only way you can call andrew johnson "bad" is if you assume that his goal was not to surrender to the just-defeated south. since it was, he was extremely successful

Shear Modulus posted:why is lincoln rated as the #1 in ability to compromise when he actually refused to compromise such that he put the nation to war To be fair to Lincoln, his election started the ACW. The south was all "LINCOLN SAID HE THOUGHT SLAVERY SHOULD END SOMEHOW IN AN UNDEFINED FUTURE POINT, WE WILL SECEEDE IF LINCOLN IS ELECTED" and Lincoln was elected. It's still weird, though, because you are correct, Lincoln recognized that compromise on slavery just didn't loving work, and hadn't worked for decades. I mean, sure, he had the ability to listen to all sorts of people, and his cabinet had people of different viewpoints and parties, but this was after the southerners went rebel; that cleared out a bunch of assholes, so of course the remainder were more reasonable

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYz1ADttI1g (very high on Luck and Avoiding Critical Mistakes) 2. Hitler (imgainitive and willing to take risks, very poorly rated on most other metrics)
