Yes, yes, we know all that but Lincoln did put the entire nation at risk to do what was right. And he held to it through the entire hellish experience. Oh how different things would be if Lincoln hadn't been one of Nature's true gentlemen!

Oh, how different things would have been had there never been a War. I have always bee of the position that the War was the greatest tragedy this country even suffered. I've always said I wish things never would have got to that point. But I've also always saud that I understand why the South did what it did, and did what it felt it had to do. I just wish things could have been worked out so that it never got to that point.
