I hate these stupid questions that can never truly be answered...I´m reminded of a scene from that old movie "Major League"...´Are you sayin´ our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ couldn´t hit a curve ball?!´ Where´s my aspirin?

I wouldn´t bet money he wouldn´t.

The only technology available to Civil War armies, comparable to the drone´s ability to surgically strike behind enemy lines. was the sniper and his rifle and both sides used them. Enemy officers, including general officers, would have presented prime targets that, struck down, might stall an imminent attack or disrupt an ongoing one. Had General Lee or any other general on either side been careless enough to come in sight of a sniper, both he and they would have been considered legitimate targets.

Agree with #1. Stupid projection type question.

Had Lincoln known about the danger of attending a play at Ford´s Theater, would he have stayed home and watched Star Wars reruns on TV?

I say no. Technology rarely changes the character of a man. Lincoln offered Lee command of the all the Armies of the United States. He did so for two reasons 1. Lee was a Virginian and if Virginia stayed in the union, the secessionist movement might fizzle. 2 Lee was the most capable, most respected general in the U.S. Army. After Appomattox, Lincoln could have had Lee arrested and hung for treason, but conspicuously chose not to.

Lincoln had more than 30,000 northerners arrested and jailed for voicing dissent against his War. He had opposition presses smashed and publishers arrested. He even issued an arrest warrant for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for opposing Lincoln´s suspension of Habeas Corpus. He most certainly would have used a drone if it had been available to him.

Lincoln worked outside the US Constitution. He sent his armies into the South while Congress was on recess, not bothering to ask them back for a special session on the subject. He instituted an unconstitutional income tax and draft. He had members of the Maryland legislature arrested and replaced, and sent one northern congressman into exile in Canada.

Lincoln, the first US president to order US troops to attack US citizens, might have gone the drone route. After all, he was the one who ordered the despicable William Tecumseh Sherman to devastate the already near defeated South with his notorious march to the sea.

No man that cared about his nation would have ever supported Sherman´s rape and pillage. Perhaps Lincoln repented of his despicable sin prior to his death. Sherman likely did not.
