History has made its judgement on Abraham Lincoln, and, oddly enough, it doesn't agree with your asinine and delusional statement...
"History", as it has been told by Northeaster Publishing companies, is very kind to Lincoln because they left out all or most of the ugly information regarding what he did.
For example, did you know Lincoln sent a War fleet to Charleston with orders to attack? I just learned of it this last year. One would think that might be relevant in a history lesson on the topic of the Civil War.
It explains why the Southerners felt they needed to attack the Fort. When they sighted the War fleet off their shores, and already knowing what it's orders were, they decided if they didn't neutralize the fort they would be attacked from two different directions at the same time.
You see, that never made any sense to me before I discovered this. I always thought it was a hot headed mistake for them to attack that fort, but knowing what I know now, I see it was the only reasonable thing they could have done from the information they had.
But most people aren't aware Lincoln sent a war fleet with orders to attack.
