Compare and contrast with FDR's choice of Truman.
FDR had to know he was going to die, and he did not want Henry Wallace to succeed him. True, he didn't prepare Truman for the job, but then, VP's were treated as a spare tire back then.
Lincoln, on the other hand, had no certainty about what was going to happen.
