Once again we have evedence of the success of the United states public education sydtem, changing history for their benefit, elevating a tyrant to hero. Lincoln was a murdering narcissist. Who didnt go to war to free the slaves and even admitted so.
I have a big problem with Lincoln.
I think he was a good man. But heavily flawed in that he thought the country must be kept together at all costs. At the point of a gun is not a good relationship. And it violated the principle already set forth by Washington et al. Yes, Union is great, but if someone wants to separate why force them not to? This was not the Whiskey Rebellion where a few might upset the apple cart. This was a whole territory.
Either settle the differences or let them go.
I realize there’s always a small cabal of suicide-loving libertarians that surface from time to time on FR, especially on the “Lincoln was a dictator” meme.
But had we become two countries as a result of the North-South disputes, instead of serving into the 1930s and 1940s as a single, mighty nation — there’s at least a strong possibility we’d be speaking German today.
so THANK YOU presidents Washington and Lincoln for being the unique heroes you were.
THANK YOU United States, and all of the stateds, north, south, east, west, midwest, for saving Europe AND THE USA from the Nazis, and the Pacific Ocean and Asia AND THE USA from Japan.
THANK YOU President Reagan for ending totalitarian rule in Eastern Europe and instituting tax cuts that are largely still in place today, and for restoring the quaint notion that it’s cool to love America.
THANK YOU President Trump for knowing what was wrong in the United States and doing all you could to remedy our ailments.
THANK YOU, GOD, for giving us the heroic presidents we needed when we needed them — including Lincoln.
Thankfully someone else realizes the truth about lincoln.
