Ah, yes, Never fails that a few people will disparage Lincoln on this board.
I suppose it makes sense. A man that kept the country together and led to the end of slavery inspired enough hate for his actions that he was murdered. That kind of passion just doesn’t die no matter how much time passes. Pitiful, but a reality.
No matter.
The good that was his legacy is greater then any shadows of hate or dislike that try to chase him to this day. And, yes, he is my FAVORITE President and the one I respect most. Washington being my close second.
Oh, and Sally Fields and Spielberg making a movie about Lincoln? They really ought to stick to concepts they understand. I’ll be shocked if they somehow tumble upon a correct telling of that man and time in history.
If they did they would have a block buster of a movie considering that he committed the greatest political blunder since the inception of the country! That being an unnecessary civil war resulting in 620,000+ deaths and sectional animosity that still exists today.
Yes, the public would be shocked to learn the real story! Unfortunately the truth about Lincoln would ruffle many feathers, however it would likely be a box office sensation!
