In terms of people lying to promote what they want? No, I can't. It is a fact of life that people relate ideas or history in a manner that supports what they wish to present, and often ignores what they do not want people to know about.
Remember me telling you how much of this history has been covered up, and how I have only recently (last few years) learned of details that are extremely important in understanding what actually occurred?
Well today I learned another one. Apparently Lincoln wrote his own fugitive slave bill back in 1849. Did you see rustbucket's post above?
Now don't you think this little detail about Abraham Lincoln writing his own fugitive slave law into a bill is rather salient to the question of how to view the "Great Emancipator"?
This tidbit is another one of those things that just don't make sense if you accept the general wisdom of what happened regarding the Civil War.
The "Great Emancipator" tried to make a law regarding the capture and return of fugitive slaves? Well well well!

You, sir (madam?) are an idiot. Your Lincoln hatred/bashing is really becoming something that you should address with a professional. You are going off half-cocked and pouncing on another false lead. The proposed bill in question was written to abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia, while staying within the bounds of the US Constitution.
You are a dung beetle. Pushing around your teeny-tiny ball of shit, which constantly stares you in the face and blinds you to the real world. You are doubling down on stupid. It is worrisome. Lincoln lives in your head, rent free.
