Side note: Foster did accomplish the great aspiration of his era, eliminating any space between his whiskers and his shirt collar.

Yeah, but the Trumbull types weren’t Johnson types. Big difference.

It is unfortunate that Lincoln didn't just keep Hannibal Hamlin as Vice President. Hamlin resigned a lucrative federal customs job because he disagreed with Johnson on reconstruction. He spent the 1870s in the US Senate.
