take it you did not read my post otherwise if you had you would have understood what Lincoln said and his actions.
You have a nerve to say I should point out a lie when I corrected you plus you was the one harping crap about southern partisans have to lie about.
You’re the one who jumped on a thread which died away and you’re the one who came on here saying what you said if it were the fact.

I understand Lincoln. He wouldn’t let the slave power destroy the country through their insurrection.
Slavery was the reason the slave power began their insurrection. That is not sufficient reason. You agree with that because you deny that it was the reason.
Lincoln's primary intention was to hold the country together. To his discredit he was willing to "kick the can" on slavery in order to effectuate this primary motivation.
You attempt to color the water by bringing up snippets of Lincoln quotations that by today's sensibilities appear racist. By those standards there wasn't a person living in the 1850's who wasn't a racist. In other words, it is immaterial and not worthy of merit.
BTW: Both of you are a bit to casual about tossing off the "lie and "liar" appellation ;-). Manc, you didn't correct anyone, you merely offered a differing opinion.
Carry on.
You didn’t correct me.
