Setting himself up for martyrdom?
Bagster
What does this even mean???
***RR said this today in CANADA***
“The Congress having done me the honor of electing me brigadier-general in their service, is an event which must put an end, for awhile, perhaps for ever, to the quiet scheme of life I had prescribed for myself; for, though entirely unexpected and undesired by me, the will of an oppressed people, compelled to choose between liberty and slavery, must be obeyed.”
It’s a quote from General Montgomery

That, I believe, is a quote by Lincoln (what RR said).
