"So Abe's point was that he put the good of the nation above everything."

You are missing the nuance. In ShortyWorld, what Abe was showing was his unwillingness to commit to principle. If he really opposed slavery, then he should have opposed it no matter the consequences.

Neocons don't care about pragmatics, much less reality.
