Would Lincoln have used nukes?

Thanks for coming back Aratus, this place was a lot more interesting back when I posted it. Full of characters, in fact there was only one bore in the whole thread @PierzStyx .

History may be boring, but it is always important.

Considering Shermans march to the sea and Lincolns totalitarianism, what do you think the chances are he would have used nuclear weapons on the South if they had been available when the war was still in doubt?

His only reservation would have been that, post-nuclear-loosening-up, they might not have paid much tax (which was his whole motive).
