Aah, the "Linkum tricked us poor, stupid yokels!" defense.
Y'all are beyond pathetic.
What else should I expect from the same dumbazz "Republican-are-working-for-us!" hallucinations that's gotten us where we are today. Thanks for Poppy Bush, Dole, McCain, Romney, Boehner, McConnell, and now, and Ryan.
Betcha you still have your Dubya poster still adorning your wall -- you know -- the one of "The Adults In Charge."
Lol — Lincoln and his “history” scribes bamboozled YOU. Geez — there’s NO excuse for anyone with a computer to still buy ANY fraudulent version of history. And they call Dems bots??
He didn't trick the Confederates. They knew he had loaded up ships with soldiers to reinforce the Fort. Had they allowed it to continue, they would have had an even more entrenched union presence in a fortress that commanded the approach to the harbor.
If they had decided to fight this reinforcement, the guns of the fort would have been trained on them. The only rational thing to do militarily was to prevent those guns commanding the high ground from aiding in the landing of those troops.
Lincoln had put them in a D@mned if you do, D@mned if you don't situation, but he didn't "trick" them.
He tricked the Northern public. That's who got tricked.
Now my time for today is over, must move on to other things.
Will try to return this weekend, if possible.
You guys are great, thanks again for amazing discussions!
Yours truly,
