-- Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address

You do realize he said this AFTER he had already gotten 600,000 people killed?

What are *YOU* gonna say to try and justify what you did?

Prior to that, he was trying to negotiate for the continuation of slavery.

He was the Bill Clinton of 1860. Clever lawyer. Too clever by half.

Well, he was certainly more clever, and capable, than anyone the slave-holding secessionists could muster.
