[Walt] The Joint Resolution of Congress upon Lincolns death

That is after he was dead.

I take this as yet another admission of your failure.

"I was impressed with his entire freedom from popular prejudice against the colored race. He was the first great man that I talked with in the United States freely, who in no single instance reminded me of the difference between himself and myself."

- Frederick Douglass

"I must say, and I am proud to say, that I never was treated by any one with more kindness and cordiality than were shown to me by that great and good man, Abraham Lincoln, by the grace of God president of the United States for four years more."

-- Sojourner Truth

I think you are missing something here.

Walt
