I've been here off and on since the start. And your stance, which is Lincoln bad, Davis good; the North tricked the South into starting the war; and every ill that has befallen this coutry for the last 150 years is directly attributable to Abraham Lincoln, is not new. It's basically the stance Diogenese Lamp has been taking. So I could probably scroll back over the 500-plus posts and refute any position you care to make by linking to a apecific reply rather than type out all the words.
To the Contrary. I don't believe i've ever written a comment saying anything good about Jeff Davis. I make the point to assert that however bad was their government, however bad were their motives, none of this refutes the right to freedom and independence for those people who wish to assert such a right. I'm sure the British thought our government was pretty lame too.
I likewise do not assert that "EVERYTHING" bad that has befallen our country in the last 150 years is the consequence of Lincoln. I just assert that much which is bad can identifiably be traced back to Lincoln. Specifically any consequences of the fallout from the 14th amendment.
Again, I provide plenty of examples. "Gay Marriage", Abortion, Band on prayer in public schools, and of course, let us not forget "anchor babies", and while we're at it, we might as well toss in the non "natural born citizen" known as Obama.
