"[John Wilkes Booth] did nothing. The yankee congressional idiots were the problem.

You seem to forget who lost, boy.

And Booth's assassination of the President gave the Radical Reconstructionists a huge opportunity. Lincoln certainly would have had a more moderate policy.

Lincoln certainly would have had a more moderate policy.

Which, by analogy with the penecontemporaneous Liberian project, and in the face of unconquered yellow fever, would have resulted in the deaths of millions of manumitted slaves in the jungles of Central America.

Lincoln's death saved Lincoln's rep, and his place on Rushmore.

Teleology, appeal to force, gloating, baiting.

You trying to get this thread pulled?
