You should thank Lincoln every day. Without the benefit of the civil war the South would be like South Africa today with 95% blacks, and whites fearing for their lives. Be grateful for the Great Emancipator.

Bravo!

So few people realize that the south was destroying itself morally and fiscally with it's devotion to slavery, and that the North actually put it out of it's misery to save itself.

Consider Afghanistan. There is no way on earth the Union could have beaten the south if the south had not known in it's heart of hearts that it was an abysmal failure overall and most certainly on the wrong path.

Be grateful for the Great Emancipator

He was neither "great" nor was he an "emancipator" - sadly, few people have even READ the so-called "Emancipation Proclamation" because if they had they would know full well that Lincoln freed NO ONE, and those that would have truly benefitted from such a proclamation, he did not free. He specifically did NOT free slaves in areas under Federal control. Even in those areas in the SOUTH (New Orleans etc.) that were under Federal control were by NAME not subject to the "proclamation". In 1863, the London Times (not a friend of slavery) mocked Lincoln's action as pure politics. He freed those who were not under his authority, and yet those who under ANY interpretation of the law were under his authority he REFUSED to free, and were only freed AFTER his death in the 13th Amendment.

You should thank Lincoln every day.

I agree wholeheartedly!!

Thank you Mr. Lincoln, for overpowering government
Thank you Mr. Lincoln, for overstepping your constitutional boundries(and I don't give a dern about Whiskey Acts created to cover a small rebellion 65 years prior, the powers he used were NOT in the Constitution)
Thank you, Mr. Lincoln for attacking Southern ports and allowing your generals to burn and pillage the South
Thank you, Mr. Lincoln, for giving our current POTUS a honest to goodness blueprint to follow when setting up military tribunals(even though yours were declared unconstitutional in 1866 by the SCOTUS)
Thank you, Mr Lincoln for starting one of the worst wars in history up to that time(even though you didn't get Congressional support)
Thank you Mr. Lincoln for ballooning the national debt 100 TIMES in a short four years

You know we do have a lot to be thankful to Lincoln for < /sarcasm>

Yeah, thank God South Africa is now a place of targeted killings of whites, intertribal warfare, rampant AIDs, and rapes and random murders by heavily armed gangs of blacks, not to mention South Africa's economy being a basketcase of UN dependency and IMF corruption by its new neo-communist government who eagerly practice the vilest form of racial bigotry and oprerssion in reverse. But, of course they are free of Apartheid, at least the kind imposed by the "evil" former white South African government. Why don't you emmigrate?

Without the benefit of the civil war the South would be like South Africa today with 95% blacks, and whites fearing for their lives.

How? The black population in America has never even been close to that, and the Confederate Constitution prohibited the importation of slaves except from the USA. Get you facts straight.

Lincoln was like every other president looking out for his own ass and his cronies.And like every other President the liberal writers in this country immortilized him. He was human flesh and blood and died just like the rest of us will eventually.All of Americas Superman come from writers with super imiginations.Dream but we are crumbling from within and it is snowballing and most probably cant be stopped now. All great nations come to an end because they forget where they come from and towhom they must answer.

Thank Lincoln, for what?!? For destroying States Rights and holding 13 States in the Union at gunpoint? We call someone who holds others hostage at gunpoint a Hostage Taker and usually the police shoot such individuals. Abraham Lincoln is a traitor to the Constitution and should have been publically executed for his crimes and unlawful war. Rather than support his orders of war against States wishing to no longer be part of the Union, General Grant should have refused to obey and should have instead arrested and executed Lincoln per his oath which he took to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic (Lincoln being a domestic enemy). Slavery would have gone away on it’s own and we would not have had the racial strife in this country were it not for the Traitor-in-Chief Lincoln’s actions. Where in the Constitution was Lincoln’s justification for dragging 13 Sovereign States back into the Union at gunpoint? No where, I’ll save you the time of finding something that doesn’t exist. John Wilkes Booth was a Hero and should have been given the Medal of Honor for his putting an end to Lincoln’s Tyranny. Too bad Lee hadn’t been bolder and marched into Washington, D.C. to put an end to Emperor Lincoln’s reign of terror. I’m sure Lincoln is keeping a spot warm in hell for Osama Bin Laden with his good buddy’s Stalin, Mao and Hitler. People need to open their eyes and stop worshipping Lincoln as if he were a saint..he wasn’t, he was a tyrant.
