It makes one wonder, however.

By employing tactics that the leering loon currently enjoying imperial power, it would appear he’s looking over Lincoln’s shoulder.

Why history regarding Lincoln was so shaded is somewhat of a mystery. If he was passing himself as a conservative (which he definitely was not) duty bound to save the union by violating the Consitution, then the Republicrat Party should be ashamed.

I’ve often wondered what would have happened had the South won the war against the conscripted North whose ranks were packed with newly-arrived foreigners. Those who believe the Civil War was fought over slavery are seriously misguided.

There was nothing consitutional about that evil war and there’s no way, had I lived at that time, that my support wouldn’t have been with the South.

Neither of these claims is a valid criticism of the Union Army.

The South started using conscription first.

The percentage of foreign-born Union soldiers was less than their percentage in population of the Union states.
