Thanks. In this, and other places (such as his legal arguments for banks) Lincoln displayed his strong pro-capitalist proclivities.

It seems the neo-rebs can never decide for sure if Lincoln was only a tool for the evil, all powerful capitalist bankers and industrialists or a tool of the all powerful Karl Marx and the commies who wanted to hang all the bankers and capitalists.

I sure wish they would make up their mind. ;~))

lincoln, that GREAT BLOODSPILLER, tyrant & war criminal, was ONLY on HIS own side. PERSONAL POWER & $$$$$$$ were the totality of his want/needs. he was/is wee willie klintoon's twin, seperated by 150 years;a cheap politician, nothing more,nothing less.

if it had been in HIS best interest, he would have announced for secession.
