Yeah, we have a long tradition of blaming others for our mistakes. It started with what used to be known as the most respected man in American history....George Washington.
But who cares about the facts, right.
You do. It was Lincoln's fault that you had to bombard Sumter. It was Lincoln's fault that you had Reconstruction. It was Lincoln's fault you lost your war. Well, maybe that last part is true but you get the idea. Lost Causers accept no responsibility for their actions and all the pain and suffering that resulted.
