I appreciate your post.
I admire Lincoln. Always have.
There are things about what happened which probably are even worse than what is listed.
I just think he was a leader during a very critical time for America.
It was a terrible time, and many many Americans died. Lots of those Americans were in the south, and have never really forgiven the north in some ways.
I understand.
FReegards right back.
A lot of this is pure ignorant modern jackassery. Its a fact that Civil war veteran of both sides held reunions at Gettysburg in 1913. They re-enacted Pickett’s charge, only when the sides met at the end of the charge, they hugged and clasped hands in friendship. There were night raids of union forces into Confederate encampments that resulted in all night parties, bonfires and parades.
If they can get over the struggle, be friends, and be Americans first again, who the hell alive today has a right to get red-assed about the conflict? Silliness.
