Most people are too patriotic these days to care about a book which trashes the savior of our nation while venenrating southern Democrats who, in their treasonous attempt to preserve slavery, killed 360,000 U. S. troops.

As you say, it's popular to be patriotic these days. So what better time to learn more about the greatest disagreement over patriotism in American history?

I, for one, have never heard a public word critical of Lincoln, unlike other famous American leaders of the past. So I'd like to hear that perspective, the other side of the story. And I think many other Freepers will too.

Most people are too patriotic these days to care about a book which trashes the savior of our nation politicion who waged war on our own citizens while in the treasonous attempt to preserve slavery, expand federal government power and usurp the right of the states to leave a union which had become unconstitutional and killed 100s of thousands of troops on both sides.

There, I edited it to show the other side of the coin.
