Although Lincoln had no formal military education, he learned quickly and proved to be a competent strategist.

 

He intuitively adhered to the old adage that

 

in war, โ€œthe main thing is to make sure that the main thing remains the main thing.โ€

 

The โ€œmain thingโ€ for Lincoln was to preserve the Union.

 

But like any good strategist, Lincoln proved willing to adapt his strategy to the circumstances in order to achieve this goal.
