Me neither. We've been trying to free ourselves from Slavery for 150 years. I've heard it said, " Lincoln imprisoned the whole nation, but only Southerners knew it at the time."

Blaming dead people for the way you live today is a pretty weak excuse. Lincoln was able to jerk the South into the 19th century, but you can't fairly blame him for the way you are living in the 21st century.

I don't blame him for "the way I live". I blame him for.. the laws I live under. The Government morphed into the beast that the Founders warned us about. Yet, the man that led this charge [By means of the Bayonet and torch ] is given Saint status.
