Lincoln didn't end slavery. He didn't even scratch the surface.

No he just shepherded the 13th Amendment through the House and Senate and to the states for ratification.

Just out of curiosity what did Robert Lee, Thomas Jackson or Jefferson Davis to do end slavery? Other than launch their rebellion and lose it, I mean?

I think you're assuming I was making comparisons between President Lincoln and the confederates. I was not. I was merely pointing out that Lincoln's motives for the Civil War were not limited to the great cause of freeing slaves, and that may not have even been his primary objective.

However, I believe Beckwith was the one who pointed out that many of the recent statements re: Lincoln are a bit skewed in their persepective.

I reitereate: the girls' dad has a good chance of winning the case if there's not a specific dress code the girls violated. The flag is a part of history.
