Nonsense!

The U.S.A. would have continued to exist without Abe's war, it just would have been several states smaller.

EXACTLY!

The USA never stopped existing, it was just halved.

For four years there were two countries.

Lincoln INVADED a foreign country, conquered it, and expanded the US into its borders. Pure and simple.

Lincoln also took a whiz all over the Constitution and created the central Federal government, trampling state sovereignty and rights in the process.

Don't get me wrong, I was born in 1966 in AMERICA -- all this happened before my time and I am an American. But I won't whitewash history to make Lincoln out to be something he clearly was not.

Yeah but the North had to take over the South to teach them English. (ducking)

"Lincoln INVADED a foreign country, conquered it, and expanded the US into its borders. Pure and simple."

Umm hate to break it to you guy but that alleged "country" he invaded had just tried to seceed itself from the country it already belonged to and it tried to do it illegally I might add.

" But I won't whitewash history to make Lincoln out to be something he clearly was not."

Not sure what country's history you claim to be defending but it's not AMERICAN history. There's nothing to whitewash about Abe Lincoln. He was a great president.

Period.
