*Snort* Some people still think that we are STILL part of Virginia! :o) "...so what part of Virginia are you from?" lol
Now Mac....
You know slavery was legal from the beginning in this country, and though wrong, it doesn't hold a candle to the stuff Ole Abe did........
I think that applies to the BAD and CRUEL slave owners, of which most were not.

It could be worse--at least people recognize West Virginia as part of the U.S. I recall hearing about a student who applied to the University of Texas from New Mexico and was told he had used the wrong application form--he should have used the one for foreign students.
LOL! :o)
Or maybe something more creative:

Okay, I'll stop now...
Lincoln waged anggressive unconstitutional undeclared war(just as Presidents from 1950 onward have done)on *his* fellow Americans.As far as foreigners were concerned in the Late Unplesantness of 1861-1865, both sides used foreigners to fight each other.Both sides had an ample share of Irishmen. If memory serves me correctly, the North had whole units that spoke Italian and Hungarian.
I'm impressed.
Yes, there were some slaveowners who tried to treat their slaves decently, and others who were cruel, but from the slaves' point of view it was all bad. Man is not meant to be a slave. See the autobiography of Frederick Douglass. He differentiates among the people he served, and gives credit to those who treated him more fairly or decently, but found plenty to be discontented with even while serving the best masters.
I am absolutely dumbfounded. Please tell me you were attempting sarcasm.
"A bill to combine state holidays for Washington and Lincoln’s birthdays into a single Presidents’ Day holiday "
GREAT!!!
They get to celebrate Milliard Fillmore, John Tyler, James Buchanan, U.S. Grant, Warren G. Harding, Taft, FDR, Clinton, Carter, Ford and Lyndon B. Johnson.
Truly great men all.
"The loyal people of East Tennessee will always be gratefully remembered by me for their hearty co-operation, efficient aid, and liberal hospitality."

General Burnside, the Chester A Arthur look during the Civil War :)
I assure you he believes sincerely every word he wrote.
Don't forget Franklin Pierce.
The U.S.A.= 50-0
