After Lincoln reviewed the over 300 death penalties, he ignore the<br />MN governor's threat that if they were not ALL hung, Lincoln would lose MN votes. Lincoln's response was that he could not afford to<br />hang men for votes.

Just ask all of those political prisoners that he housed at McHenry and Lafayette, all of those poor Irish folks that he snuffed out during the New York City draft riots, those 38 Dakota Sioux that he hung (the largest mass execution in U.S. history) after giving them all a 5 minute trial, those 300 plus newspapers that he closed down simply for opposing his policies, those thousands of civilians that he ordered as a part of his "total war" (McClellan write a letter to Lincoln complaining about this strategy and Lincoln tossed it) to be slaughtered, all of those people who had their homes and cities burnt to a crisp and their property confiscated, etc..
