First of all, not a Reb. Family came over around 1900, so we weren't involved in it. Didn't settle in the South either.

Second of all, the Union was preserving it, so nobody had to fight for that. See Lincoln and "Corwin Amendment."

My family came here from Ireland in 1850. My gg grandfather served in the US Army. First in ‘’The Indian Territory of Oklahoma’’ according to family history. He was a medical orderly at Fort Sill. He later went on to prominence as a medical steward in The Surgeon Generals Office in Washington, DC During The Civil War. He wrote “The US Army Surgeons Manual’’. His name was William C. Grace. Here’s something for you to do Lampster. Google “Us Army Surgeons Manual’’/William C. Grace’’. That’s my ancestor. Do it. And as far as I’m concerned you’re a Reb. And I was born in the northeastern NJ town of Kearny. Named for it’s most famous local son Union General Phil Kearny.

You have been asked to not include me on your “To:” list. I used to think that you were a dung-beetle, blindly pushing your pile of shit. Now I see that you are merely a nit-wit.
Did you notice how many times President Trump referenced Lincoln in his SOTU address? ......and continued to make references to “Honest Abe” in two speeches the next day? I really thought that you (being the #1 Lincoln basher on FR) would keep a low profile for a while. I am pretty sure President Trump would not approve of you.
