I forgot the sarcasm tag----it was a joke meant to display all the allegations the Lew Rockwell crowd likes to run with.

It was James Shields who challenged Lincoln to the duel. Shields was not blind, going on to be a Union Army general and the only person elected to the U. S. Senate from three different states (Illinois, Minnesote, and Missouri).

Do not advertise, or attempt to sell or solicit. It's plain enough. Should need no further explainations. Every day one or more newbies gets nuked for this. Links to cafepress, ebay, et al, for the purposes of offering merchandise for sale are not welcome here. If we allowed this, we'd be wall-to-wall spam for t-shirts, books, stamps, coffee mugs, etc.

I'm about to commence going through six volumes of the collected papers of William H. Seward.
Generally, what is your impression of him?

Just in time, the Lew Rockwell crowd has arrived to save the day.

I know. It is the truth. To be honest, I doubt many of those that heard both gentlemen understood what was going on. They were continually reprimanded for shooting their mouths off, but still, it must have taken great concentration. That could be. Seems like nowadays, if you don't speak in short little sentences prepackaged by the mainstream media and institutions of learning, you're labeled an eccentric. People are so discouraged from using reason anymore and ridiculed if they veer from the mainstream even slightly before anyone even considers what was said.
I would give nearly anything to have been a fly on the wall during Sumner's Crime Against Kansas.
And the intellectual rebuttle from the Senator from South Carolina? :^)

"Do not advertise, or attempt to sell or solicit."
He did not advertise or attempt to sell or solicit. He was directing us to an informational site on the Internet.
"Links to cafepress, ebay, et al, for the purposes of offering merchandise for sale"
I know you are an uneducated hayseed, but do you consider books merchandise?

Well Lincoln didn't exactly like Indians He did spare the life of an Indian Chief in the Black Hawk war, despite the fact that his cohorts in the Indiana Militia wanted him executed immediately.
He wanted blacks sent back to Africa
Him and about 80% of all white people at the time. Nevertheless, he was the first President to use the ending of slavery as an issue (albeit only in states "under rebellion"). For his time, he was a "moderate" on racial issues (Thaddeaus Stevens and the great William Seward were much more progressive on this point than Abe).

Damn, and I have to get to class in 30 minutes.
To: republicanwizard
After Abraham Lincoln beat William Seward for the nomination, Seward sent his close political ally of three decades, Thurlow Weed, to Springfield to check him out. Upon returning to New York, Weed looked Seward in the eye and said: "Abraham Lincoln is the best man I ever met."
gotta go

You mean his nephew-Preston Brooks? Douglas and Toombs sat there and did nothing. Typical Democratic gentlemen.

Ah, another William Henry Seward admirer.
This is an Irrepressible Conflict!
To: Grand Old Partisan
Yes, Thurlow Weed was an incredible political operative and a shrewd analyst of men. He thought he would go tell Lincoln what was what, and he was told what was what.
To: republicanwizard
You mean his nephew-Preston Brooks?Yeah, you're right.
Douglas and Toombs sat there and did nothing. Typical Democratic gentlemen.
Democrats haven't changed much in 140+ years.

In Madison Square Park here in NYC, there is a prominently displayed statue of William Seward. Its a shame that too few people know of this great man. A bigger shame are the people that New Yorker currently elect to national and statewide office...
