I used to love Grant & Lincoln, but maybe I've been in the south too long. I still think Lincoln started the Big Government, and his fondness for Marx at the time was a big red flag.

I have no real problem with Grant. He greatly respected Lee, and just did what he thought was right. Now Lincoln, that is another story...

I'm fascinated with this Lincoln being fond of Marx, or more correctly old electric whiskers writings. What evidence is there of this? The question is posed in serious inquiry not as a polemical put-down.

Lincoln?

fondness for marx?

I'm listening...especially in light of the venom directed at Lincoln by Marxist historians.
