I regard Lincoln as America's Saviour, in much the same way that Christ was Mankind's Saviour.

The History Channel is running this 2 hour show on "April, 1865" from the book of the same title. The author's theme is that the United States is the --only-- nation throughout history to ever go through a revolution and come out stronger than before. And it was Grant and Sherman who were the main agent's of dead Lincoln's policy of "malice towards none, and charity for all," that made it possible.

Robert E. Lee is also quoted as saying that he surrendered as much to Lincoln's good as he did to Grant's army.

Those that attack President Lincoln's memory either hate the United States and what it stands for or they don't know the history.

Very true.

Several Confederates who knew the depths of Lincoln's goodness were said to have wept when they heard of his death. They knew that he was irreplacable.

It's incredible that extremists and fools continue to attack Lincoln. Without him, the American flag would have been ripped asunder or defiled by the evil of slavery.

How can anyone criticize the man who saved our flag from such a fate?

I suspect it's both.
