Warning: You might learn something!

Lincoln’s strategy for ending slavery wasn’t a civil war. It was to prevent the spread of slavery to the territories. Eventually and peacefully, without the carnage of a civil war, so many boys being put into the grave, very few of them slaveowners, just military age males responding to the call of duty, and without a hundred years of Jim Crow and sectionalism.

Lincoln was born and raised in Kentucky and his wife was a southern sympathizer. He was a veteran (of the Blackhawk Wars). He and his wife lost one son (to disease) prior to the war, and another (also to disease) during the war. We Republicans think of him as the most human of our presidents and wonder if he would have been able to bind our nation’s wounds had he lived.

Mythologizing a few facts...he arguably on some points.even I have always admittedly the good about Abe especially when compared to his radical associates...but he arguably ....and maybe Coolidge, Ike , Magnus of course and Trump

160 years and those are the bonafides of your Grand Old Party which has betrayed cultural warriors all my life ...63....and if you think GOPe owned conservatism ...you're as deceitful as Levin and Beck and Hannity

Trump changed everything....made all things new...thank God.. if we don’t give it back to your precious GOPe .....oh btw before I forget here's your meme
