Lincoln...the beginning of the end of America. Birth of a liberal nation. The only thing that surprised me was that they didn’t have him “rise again on the third day.”
But he killed lots of vampires, with an axe!
Slavery was not the important issue to Lincoln—power and control over the lives of others were issues that drove him. I’m a tax slave myself and I don’t like it. If we put the 650000 young boys ordered to death by this tyrant in the perspective of today’s population, I don’t support sending 6.5 million boys to kill each other for the aggrandizement of some power-infested politician. I place no greater value on Lincoln’s life than I do any of some of those 15 and 16 year kids that were enslaved to kill each other. No mans life is worth more than another.
You’re off by a few generations. Introduction of slavery and the support of it by a corrupt DEMOCRAT Party was and is the problem. Today, the only people who want to (still) enslave anyone are Dems. Only the REPUBLICAN Party under Lincoln had as the top of its platform the ending of slavery in the territories. Neoconfederates just can’t deal with the simple truth that their section of the country not only believed in slavery, but put it in their constitution, not once, but thrice.
