I’m sorry. I grew up with elderly grandparents who were not too far removed from Lincoln and the Civil War. Daddy once said that slavery was on the way out due to the proliferation of automation. Sorry. I don’t see Lincoln as a hero; that was a useless war.

I agree with that assessment — those that assert that slavery could only be ended by war are idiots, ignorant of history (see William Wilberforce).
