How sad that 137 years after his death folks are still attempting to trash Lincoln and paste whatever current civil war mythology is current onto his presidency. Now it's an attempt to portray the Civil War as one big war crime and Abe Lincoln as the chief war criminal. Oh my. Next old Abe will morph into a 'terrorist' and be compared to Arafat - or has that one been tried already? Hard to keep up with all the anti-Lincoln stuff when real threats to our country right now seem a bit more important.

Unbelievable that in the 21st century this endless rehashing of a period long, long past in our nations history is still able to generate windy diatribes like the above article and who-knows-how-many websites, books, 'newsletters' and other Civil War-era detritus. To what end? Oh, yes, the 'truth' must be known. Yes, yes.

Give it up.
