Abe Lincoln invaded the South and suspended habeas corpus. For those sins he must be eternally damned.

I seam to recall that Jefferson Davis might have had something to do with starting the war by firing on United States troops in a United States Fort. And while we are on that subject he also suspended the writ of habeus corpus.

It is amazing that Lincoln stood for everything we so-called conservatives today detest, and there are those on this forum that will defend him with all the band width within them.

The Southrons started the fight.

Besides, Abe Lincoln is at least a better man than I am. I would have hanged Lee and Davis, and sent the rest into exile with Benjamin.
