Well, I’m certainly no knee-jerk fan of the falsely sainted Mr. Lincoln, nor the outcome of the war: some of our worst Amendments; the beginning of the rise of the Federal Leviathan we see before us now; the unneccesary cruelty of the North, both before and after the surrender.

That those Americans who believe and feel this way are dismissed here on FR says more of the dismissers than the dismissed.

I think the person who started this thread has asked a legitimate question.

Interestingly, the only reference I ever see with respect to "sainthood" for Lincoln - justified or not - comes from the southron knotheads. Those of us who love our union do respect him and the difficult decisions he was forced to make, but to not worship him. Worship is for the Almighty.

I think the person who started this thread has asked a legitimate question.

the question is reprehensible and offensive to conservatives and should have no place at FreeRepublic.

‘some of our worst Amendments’
