Oh it's easy to understand. Just another Lost Causer blindly blaming every ill on Lincoln. Especially the self-inflicted ones.
No lost causer here, IA had family on both sides of the war. Moms side the north dads side the south.
I did not blame everything on Lincoln, I only said he opened the flood gates which he did. Some think that he had to, some say he did not. I think he was damned either way, but he still opend the gates wide.
