It took courage above and beyond for Abraham Lincoln to push the country into a Civil War that he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt would divide this nation for decades.

Oh my goodness . . .

Abraham Lincoln did not push the country into a Civil War. The Slave Power did.

I don’t think Daniels was trying to summarize an entire war and its roots in one sentence.

There are a zillion ways he could have summed up Abraham Lincoln and his courage. He chose to say that Lincoln pushed the country into a Civil War--despite the fact that the cotton states seceded before the man was even inaugurated and that the Confederacy fired first.

It was a backhanded jab at Lincoln. Shame on Charlie for that.

I don't agree. I think the words he wrote above are highly complimentary.

However complimentary they were intended, they aren't true. Lincoln did not push this country into a civil war. The slave power and secessionists did.

Perhaps he meant that it took courage to rouse the country and prosecute the war after it had begun. If so he chose the wrong words.

We’re going to disagree on this one. I think it did take a push by Lincoln to preserve the union.

I’m not sure now that it was the right move for the right reason. It might have been the wrong move for the right reason.

But all of a sudden we’re debating the Civil War instead of Charlie Daniel’s message which is distracted from.

I think I’ll get back to that. Feel free to have the last word on this side discussion.

We're talking right past one another. Lincoln did push to preserve the Union. He did not provoke or start the Civil War. Seven states seceded before the man was even in office; how in the world did he "push" anything???

Part of Daniel’s ending is: Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.

Amen.

Bone-head and McCon-job both need to be sent home. Gutless, spineless roaches.
