"They should have shot Lincoln before the war, not after.


AMEN! :)"

It is a tragedy he was killed. He might not have fit the idealized conservative mold, but a war was going to happen whether he was in office or not. America is better off because the Union won. I am a Texan born in South Carolina.

I respect your opinion even tho I do not agree with it. I don't think that a war would have happened with or without Lincoln.

If another president had gotten the whitehouse there may have been no war. He was the one who called up the volunteers and it was his presence in the whitehouse that started the sequence of events that led to the war.

Unfortunately we will never know if some other way could have been found to solve the differences between North and South.

Advocating the murder of a president, any president, is reprehensible. Unfortunately it's just the sort of thing so many unreconstructed Southerners seem to like doing.

Haven't you fella's got other problems to worry about?
