Good catch, Wabigoon. Since Johnson was Lincoln's vice president I assumed that he was a Republican. But he was a Democrat, almost certainly chosen by Lincoln to try to reunite the country. As far as the rest of the southern Democrats were concerned, they likely considered him a DINO at best and a traitor to Democrats at worst.

Bob, satire all the way. You are absolutely correct.
