-- And he won.

Like Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe? The Lincoln cult always has an excuse for the FF slave owners, let's hear yours-

No excuses needed, -- To a man they were well aware of the hypocrisy of slaveholding in a republic dedicated to individual freedom.

And, - I belong to no 'cult'. Lincoln was above all a politician, with their typical faults. But he did his job well, and held together our union.
