If you are a student of history...Karl Marx was an enthusiastic supporter of Lincoln, he even had spies serving in the Northern Army.

Marx's admiration for Lincoln was not reciprocated, and isn't surprising. Would you expect Marx to side with the slave owners?

I used to think Lincoln was a great President ( I think he was a good man) until I started really getting into the War of Northern Aggression and found him to be like FDR.....wrong man at the right time. I put Lincoln up in the top ten of bad Presidents. Thanks for the heads-up on Lincoln and Marx......I had no idea.
