“His views evolved”
50 year old men’s view “evolve”. He was a white supremist who thought he was superior to blacks. He wanted to ship them back Africa. He was also a socialist who destroyed the form of government our Founding Fathers fought and died for. Karl Marx called him his favorite American. Lincoln remains the only president who caused more American casualties in four years than all of our foreign enemies have in two centuries. He is also the only president who has left mass graves of Americans in his wake on American soil. The only thing tragic about his assassination, is that it did not occur four and half years and 750,000 deaths sooner.
“His views evolved”
50 year old men’s view DON’T “evolve”. He was a white supremist who thought he was superior to blacks. He wanted to ship them back Africa. He was also a socialist who destroyed the form of government our Founding Fathers fought and died for. Karl Marx called him his favorite American. Lincoln remains the only president who caused more American casualties in four years than all of our foreign enemies have in two centuries. He is also the only president who has left mass graves of Americans in his wake on American soil. The only thing tragic about his assassination, is that it did not occur four and half years and 750,000 deaths sooner.
Yet he waged the war that ended slavery, and for that was shot in the back of the head by a coward from your vaunted south.
He wanted to ship them back Africa.
This was not an idea orginal to Lincoln; it was a popular solution in the years leading up to the war. Go read some newspapers from the era.
He was also a socialist
Do you know the meaning of the word? Socialists don't grant freedom, they take it away.
who destroyed the form of government our Founding Fathers fought and died for
Nope. He defended the Constitution of the United States against a domestic enemy who thought it laudable to hold men in chains and confiscate the product of their labor. Answer me this: where in the Constitution does it grant one man the right to own another as property? That's where your whole story falls apart; you can't defend the south because to do so is to defend men owning each other.
There's a better definition of socialism: economic slavery.
If you want to complain about Presidents being socialists-- or worse, confiscating the product of a man's labor-- you need look no further than the White House today; that's where you should direct your energy.
You clearly don't understand history, or the definitions of political systems.
Karl Marx called him his favorite American
If you read Marx's letter to Lincoln in 1864, Marx is encouraging Lincoln in the fight against slavery. I agree with Marx on that point. Do you?
Lincoln remains the only president who caused more American casualties in four years than all of our foreign enemies have in two centuries.
The cost of eliminating slavery was indeed high.
Why did your heroes in the south fight so hard, and kill so many, in defending their 'rights', when the central right they were defending was the unconstitutional ownership of one man, by another?
The blood is on the south, not Lincoln.
He is also the only president who has left mass graves of Americans in his wake on American soil.
Again, the blame for those graves belongs with the south.
The only thing tragic about his assassination, is that it did not occur four and half years and 750,000 deaths sooner.
So said an anonymous troll on the internet, 150 years after the fact, in defense of slavery.
Your forefathers created a real mess, didn't they?
And yet, you have the insolence to complain about the man to whom history handed the thankless task of cleaning that mess? What kind of a man are you?
0 for 5, Grand Dragon.
If you can't up your game, we're going to have to call this off, because you're not very intelligent.
