Perhaps it also helps me to realize that it was 150 years ago, and this constant blaming of all this country's ills on Lincoln that is done by the Confederate supporters is growing tiresome.

Lincoln birthed Fed-Zilla. Never before had the US Government accrued so much power over so many people. Much subsequent federal expansion was the consequence of Lincoln trail blazing the way in that direction.

Much of our current troubles are the direct descendants of Lincoln's Legacy.

What power did the Federal Government have in 1866 that it didn't have in 1860?
