President Lincoln was taken from the American people by a demented individual, consumed with blind hate.
Other presidents have met the same fate, it is sad to say.
After President Lincoln was elected president of the United States our nation was torn in two by those wishing to expand an evil empire, which we know was defeated, but at a massive cost in human lives.
Have a Merry Christmas to you & yours.
Don't like clams. Don't like New England either.
Lincoln was was not a hero nor a saint nor a "great" president. You seriously need to do some studying of history from the original viewpoint.
Lincoln had no interest in freeing the slaves. He had no interest in keeping the freed slaves in the states. The only thing he was interested in was the money the Southern states were providing for the "upkeep" of the Federal Government. Look it up.
