Lincoln was averse to making unnecessary wars, and wrote: "Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel and invasion...and you allow him to make war at pleasure. ...If today he should chose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada, to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him? You may say to him, "I see no probability of the British invading us," but he would say to you, "Be silent: I see it if you don't."
