In fact, Lincoln himself had written and argued that free slaves should not be welcomed into the State of Illinois.

Quote please?

“Quote please?”

Not my job to educate you. Try reading about lincoln instead of simply repeating what you think you know about the period during the war. I’m not going to drag you around doing your research and educating you on the lincoln and the war. I don’t have time for every ignorant idiot that demands someone else teach them something. Your fingers aren’t broken. Go google for it. Stupid and lazy is no way to go through life.

fellas, before adding any more ‘lincoln was great’, ‘the war was about slavery’, etc. nonsense, i’ll throw ya all a bone:

America’s Caesar by Greg Loren Durand.

Volume 1 is Lincoln. Volume 2 is Reconstruction to present day. Buy both volumes and read (best $30 you’ll ever spend).

It’s a big effort (1000+ pages) but worth it, especially since half the book is original texts such as congressional speeches, presidential letters, etc. It was tough to get through some parts for a PA boy like myself, but I doubt I’ve learned more from a single text before.

If nothing else, you won’t waste any more time asking for quotes and parading your ignorance on the FR boards.
