Well, that’s a feeble retort, since the thread had morphed into much more than just a referendum on Lincoln long before I joined the fray. But nice try.
Others made reference to some of Mr. Lincoln’s more questionable attributes and motives elsewhere in the thread - you might want to go back and read those posts if Mr. Lincoln, isolated from the sweep of history all around him, is your interest.
Sorry, my application for membership in the John Wilkes Booth society was declined.
