Question: What major historical figure were very skilled in making friends out of enemies?

I know Nixon is a good example, concerning China.

I know Genghis Khan is another.
Who else and any sources citing how they did so in detail if possible?

Answer: Lincoln was great at that. A lot of people hated him, but he was polite and respectful to everyone, and through his speaking and logic he was often able to make people see his side. He was also great with forgiveness (he had a plan to let the Southern states back in if 10% of the citizens took a loyalty oath, a low number which would have made the confederates happy) and had he stayed alive,Reconstruction would have gone better.

Earl Warren, the Chief Justice of the Supreme court in the '50s was also really good at that. He got a unanimous vote on Brown v. Board of Education by talking to all the other justices.
