Over a million union men volunteered to fight against rebellion and secession.

It wasn't just Lincoln, and yet he gets the blame. What is the variable that makes his name come up time and time again?

There is no avoiding the fact that secession was a right and it's purpose was to avoid a "civil" war. Lincoln and his henchmen were the rebels. You probably buy the spin from todays new liberals as well. The results speak for themselves. Maybe you think this country didn't go in the toilet after that war. Keep grazing.

The first three Supreme Court Justices indicated otherwise.

It's not so just because you say it is.

Washington absolutely urged an immovable attachment to the national union. Why blame Lincoln for taking the same position?

Exellent advice for the likes of Wlat. See his pedigree above.

If you are talking of the reconstruction act, that lasted about 10 years and was a blotch on the escutcheon of the North.  The irony is that Lincoln was the only one who could have reigned in the carpet baggers - and he was killed by a southernor.

If you are talking of the country as a whole, I would humbly remind you that the president of the country after Lincoln was assassinated was a southern gentleman by the name of Johnson - not FDR as you imply.

"Maybe you think this country didn't go in the toilet after that war."

Since that war, this country has risen to become the greatest nation in the world, and one of the greatest in the history og humanity, if not THE greatest.

Perhaps you could name what other country you would prefer to live in, seeing as to how this one has gone to the toilet.
