“Just like the civil war.” ... My thought has it that Trump is VERY much like Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln was hated by the south because he wanted to end slavery in America. Now, here we are, Trump is hated for his supporting American job creation and - essentially - freeing those who do nothing other than collect welfare.
This is not true. He even said if he could keep America together and keep slavery, he would do it.
The civil war was about money, power, taxation, and control.
Slavery was a small subset of the taxation issue.
