English term or phrase: Exercised
Lincoln was particularly exercised by President James Polk’s fabrica-
tion of a pretext for going to war with Mexico, a scenario remarkably similar to that of the build-up to the 2003 war in Iraq involving claims about Iraq’s possession of “weapons of mass destruction” that turned out to be specious.


Lincoln fue particularmente ejercitado por la fabricación del presidente James Polk de un pretexto para ir a la guerra con México, un escenario notablemente similar a la invención de la guerra de 2003 en Irak que involucraba alegatos sobre la posesión de "armas de destrucción masiva," lo cual resultó ser engañoso.

exercised
Sorprendido


Explanation:
Lincoln was particularly exercised, tanto si se toma "fue particularmente sorprendido", como" estaba particularmente sorprendido", es como la frase toma un significado con más sentido.

Pienso que puede ser "Sorprendido", porque tanto si traducimos la frase con el verbo "ser" o "estar", tiene el mismo significado. "Lincoln estaba particularmente sorprendido""Lincoln fue particularmente sorprendido".
