Please elaborate on how Lincoln 'thrust statehood' on Nevada.

Any manual history of the West should do it. Lincoln initiated Nevada statehood, not the inhabitants of Nevada. As in, it was his idea, not theirs (they were only a few thousand strong, centered on the mining towns around Lake Tahoe). The documents petitioning Congress for admission were drawn at Lincoln's direction.

This should be good.

Your cynicism shines and stinks in the moonlight.

Any manual history of the West should do it.

I've read a couple of them, and none indicate the conspiracy that you find. But then again, you find conspiracies in anything Lincoln did. Perhaps you can elaborate? Again, this should be good.

Your cynicism shines and stinks in the moonlight.

As does your paranoia.
