Is it true Scott was taller thank Lincoln?

Thanks for the kind words!

Is it true Scott was taller thank Lincoln?

Yes, this source says Scott was 6' 5" - one inch taller than Lincoln. He was the tallest presidential candidate.

Scott was a giant, not only physically, but intellectually. His plan for putting down the rebellion, commonly called the Anaconda Plan, though rejected in the 'rush to Richmond' was (with a few tweaks) what eventually won the war.
