It’s best not to reason with Lost Causers and apologists for the Slaveholder’s Rebellion. If you really want to make them mad ask them if they’re mad slavery isn’t still legal.

The Legacy of Lincoln is still with us. Much of the problems we are now facing with out of Control Federal government began in Ernest under Lincoln. Who made the Federal government supreme over us all? Lincoln.

We haven't ended slavery, we've just changed masters and added more slaves.

“We haven’t ended slavery, we’ve just changed masters and added more slaves.”

Really? Really??? You’re going to compare anything we have now to the 1800’s practice of slavery? You are truly delusional.

How so? Capitalism had its greatest expansion in the 40 years after Lincolns presidency. More people were lifted from poverty without an iota of government assistance than at any time in history.

It was not until the progressive era under Teddy Roosevelt and then under Woodrow Wilson that we saw the expansion of Federal power emerging followed by the growth of the federal dependent class.

How was Lincoln responsible for any of that?
