IIRC Actually Abe had to sneak in to DC the threats were so numerous against him.....BTW Read today that Reagan still has the record number of people in attendance at a inauguration.

I need to go back and read the history. I think the Civil War had more to do with the North wanting to dominate the South especially the cotton wealth. Slavery was a side issue - note i am not condoning slavery in any way.

Yes I saw Reagan had a record crowd. Well loved and the country had amazing relief from being delivered from Carter. I cannot watch Reagan or his commercial on You Tube. I mourn we do not have a leader like him now. It is too much to watch.
