He was the best in my opinion for several reasons.
1. Respected God, the People, and the Constitution.
2. He had no prior President in history to use as a guide to lead a country. All those who followed have had him as an example and he still has beaten them all up to this point.
3. He could have been President for Life or King. Had the ability based on leading the Colonial Army and the Constitutional Conventions to have enormous power. But he didn't want that and walked away after 8 years and set the standard for Presidents to serve 2 terms until FDR broke the unwritten rule.
4. Farewell Address that is great Advice for Presidents and the Country today.
5. Paid off a lot of National Debt in his first 2 terms.
5. Respected God and the Constitution.
” Lincoln saved it from a domestic tyranny “
No free republic uses force to keep the states that created it under its thumb.
Why did they attack Fort Sumpter? the North imposed a tax on the South, approx. 80% of it would benefit the North. I would fight back also.
We allready are & were a Commie nation, they stole approx. 6 planes for the operation, kind of sad to steal someone’s valuables when you can afford them yourself.
Not to mention the tons of Coke they were bringing into Mena airport, what a shame!
I think, Prescott was the name of the horse.
Is the old story he could have been King if he wanted actually true?
Pretty much.
Agreed sir. He set the standard. Any single part of his life is an amazing story in it self. All of it is a model for all Americans to emulate and follow.
We would be a better country if that happened. All we can say is we are all humbled by his example.
He was divinely inspired, and guided by the lord through all the steps of his path through history.
