Really, Lincoln praying. Never read
this? It would be a lesson to us today, no matter what one believes about Lincoln or the prior foibles of Lincoln in his law practices and other politicking. Faith in technology and numbers is often misplaced.
Calling the British Empire “England” is a misnomer. Remember that the greatest growth of the British Empire was between the 19
th and 20
th centuries, reaching its greatest extent just after World War I. A weakened and divided USA would have been ripe for picking.
I see Lincoln as the one who started us on the path that his fellow president from Illinois is leading us down now. If you love an all powerful national government, you have to give props to Lincoln. The Wilson, FDR, LBJ and Obama agendas would not have been possible without Lincoln obliterating states rights first. I obviously do not see Lincoln the same way you do. I’ll leave it there.
