DiogenesLamp: "I understand why he so strongly defends them, but it is irritating to read his constant spew of propaganda when one is no longer caught in that spell."

But how did DiogenesLamp & others here get "caught in that spell" of Lost Cost lies, myths & misrepresentations?
By your own claims you have no family link to them, no admitted self-interest in believing and propagandizing their pack of nonsense -- so how & why?

Why would you take endless time to study & repeat lies, but never lift a finger to learn real history?
What's up with that?

The fact is that nothing DiogenesLamp posts here is error free in terms of facts and none of it is reasonable in terms of analysis.
For example, like any good Marxist you tell us, "follow the money" and wail about "Northeastern power brokers" but without any legitimate references to show that any of that played more important roles than the actual words of people, at the time.
The fact is that whatever you post which is not just pure fantasy turns out to be projections from myths about allegations which are not solidly referenced.

Sure, for posters like jeffersondem, FLT-bird & others who were presumably born into the Lost Cause, we can at least understand where they're coming from, but not DiogenesLamp.
So what can replace a Lost Cause mother's milk?
I can only think of a wedding vow: "DL, will you have this woman, to love honor and obey her Lost Cause myths until death do you part?"

What else could account for it?

I was going to ask you to check whether this quote was valid or not, because about one thing I a absolutely and fully trust you, is the willingness to disprove any smear against Lincoln. If this quote was made up, I believed you would be able and willing to prove it.

And then I found this reference, so I now believe this quote was not made up.

Godless Liberal?

Your repetitive responding to respond in order to waste as much time as possible while failing to read and/or just claiming any source that is inconvenient for your arguments is automatically untrue, has likewise come to an end. Buh Bye.

60th attempt.

You are simply not going to steal hours of my day every day.
