User blog comment:AustinDR/How Much Can You Blame Mr. Tetherby?/@comment-31022739-20171103031411

Not very much. I don’t buy the “Lincoln got brainwashed” angle that some people say about his behavior; Lincoln is old enough to have a sense of right and wrong. Being influenced with temptation isn’t a solid enough excuse for me to buy that Lincoln “wasn’t in control” of his actions and that it was all Tetherby’s fault.
