Lincoln was the worst President we ever had. 600,000 Americans were killed during his administration, more than all other Presidents combined.
Reagan defeated the evil empire with its hundreds of divisions of infantry and tanks; 6000 war planes, hundreds of ships, submarines, and mines; and over a thousand nuclear warheads.
Lincoln ordered a conspiracy to instigage war when the Confederate Army numbered less than 10,000...had no warships other than a few captured at their own ports, and no way to move troops North except by a foot, horse, and rail.
Reagan defeated the evil empire without firing a shot.
Lincoln presided over the deaths of 600,000.
And one poster earlier said that there was no permanent damage.
A foolish remark.
From the mid-1860's until just 50 years ago, the South withered for the lack of a middle class..........25% or more killed in the war, and a slow building back.
Who do these people think they are? They know nothing of the devastation...the ruin...the human degration.
"...in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves....".
Where did this fit into the thinking of those that sent Sheridan and Sherman south?
