I suspected they would come out of the woodwork, resty.
As you know, some here have even declared Nixon was a RINO... so, Lincoln was probably a RINO also and of course, an evil Yankee.
Never mind that presidents are more often shaped by the times they live in rather than vice versa. Lincoln had to deal with a problem, the threat of disunion, and he did so.
Americans had called for the abolition of slavery since before the Founding Fathers. They hesitated to do so because of the political and economic power of the South. They finally had to call the South’s bluff and bring about the promise of Liberty for All.
Obviously, not All like it but that led to one of Lincoln’s most famous quotes about pleasing all the people all the time......
Looks to me that a few people on here would still favor slavery with some of the comments I am seeing about Lincoln.
I am sitting here shaking my head at some of the comments. Some people are still fighting the Civil War it seems.
