That guy killed about 700,000 of his fellow Americans (7,000,000 equivalent today) for some abstraction called “the union”, in other words, the federal government. Pure evil.

The Confederacy, pure and evil. The south wanted a war, Lincoln gave them one. Just like the Japanese wanted a war the United States gave them one.

BS. If you want to point fingers take a gander in the direction of jeff davis.

Lincoln wasn't evil. The southern slave holders who threw a temper tantrum to keep people in slavery for their economic benefit were the true evil - and everyone who was too dumb to realize it and fought and died for the South paid the bill.

The guys on the other side of that argument were at least liable for half of those deaths. Were they 'pure evil' too?

And if this nation has been 'pure evil' for the last 150 years, why in the hell are you still here?

BTW. I better men than us, such as George Washington, didn't considered the Union an 'abstraction.' They risked everything, including their lives, to make it a reality.
