No, Peabrain. You see, I started off like you, northern educated, memorized the Gettysburg Address, worshiped at the Great Memorial in Washington, DC. But then I read some wacko history that said some awful things about the Great Man. This can't be, I thought. But some of those awful things I could verify even with an Encyclopedia Britannica. Since some were true I looked more deeply into the others, including this about Lincoln leaving his family ride on a train he believed might be attacked. The only "awful thing" I haven't verified to my satisfaction is the claim that Lincoln at one point ordered the arrest of Chief Justice Taney. I did eventually obtain George Brown's book which also makes this assertion, but I still have my doubts. The bottom line is that Lincoln was a scumbag and that the histories that most people read have been sanitized to obscure or hide this fact.
(FTR, I have never lived south of the metro NYC area.)

So on the basis of his train trip and vague assertions about arresting Taney you have decided Lincoln was a scumbag. Talk about peabrains!
