Gee. I didn’t know so many Freepers have disdain for Lincoln. I’m stunned.............

Lincoln was a power hungry brutal butcher that destroyed the original republic, but other that, I have no problem with the man.

Other than ruining or killing off an entire generation of good American Christians and splitting a nation over grievances that could have easily been settled diplomatically, yes he was a great man!

Yes, we have a strong neo-Confederate group here.

In The Clansman: A Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan, Lincoln is introduces as ‘The Friend of the South’

So supporters of ‘Honest’ Abe should be aware of the company that they keep.

The issue is not whether people admire, like, dislike, disdain or hate Abraham Lincoln. The guy in the article compared Lincoln to Hitler. (facepalm)

Distain for Lincoln?

It only cost us...how many hundred of thousands of lives? Many of them young poor men. How many mothers cried over their dead sons?

Why? because Lincoln didn’t believe in States Rights. And the North wanted the $$$ and the cotton
