yes, it’s quite a terrible thing to go about personally murdering 600,000 completely unsuspecting people, as some on this forum imagine that he did...

The latest official number of direct war dead is 750,000, and he just set it in motion. Deliberately.

You’re right. Let’s all forget about Fort Sumter. A small inconsequential detail. He told the South not to be rash because he wasn’t planning on being rash - and the South freaked and bailed out. Another small inconsequential detail.

Yes, the whole thing was Lincoln’s fault...
