I find you no less repugnant and in some ways far more repellant. BFD.

No one likes for someone to point out that their god has feet of clay. In fact, they hate it.

Believers want to believe, and heretics are never welcome.

Another strawman. No one here, not a single soul, considers Lincoln their god. And no one here, not a single soul, is blind or ignorant to the mistakes that Lincoln made. Once again you project your own inadequacies and biases upon others.

Try again.

Do you think that our friends will ever see Lincoln for the man he really was.

First Inaugural: “I understand a proposed amendment to the Constitution to the effect that the Federal Government shall never interfere with the domestic institutions of the States, including that of persons held to service.”

...”and to collect the duties...what may be necessary..."

Lincoln would accept slavery but not failure to pay tariffs.

The true character of the man was startlingly evident.

DiogenesLamp: "No one likes for someone to point out that their god has feet of clay.

Total rubbish because the "god" at issue here is simply the truth, the facts and real reasons for Civil War.
DiogenesLamp and other Lost Causers love to fantasize a whole alternate historical reality that suits their propaganda purposes to a "T", but has nothing to do with what really happened.
