Irrelevant. He must be crucified. He was a REPUBLICAN.

You'd think Abraham Lincoln would get more support on a conservative website like FR, wouldn't you?

But most people stay mum, or parrot the crap of the neo-reb liars like the Sons of Confederate Veterans or the League of the South.

I'm SCV. You may want to temper your troll-like behavior.

Slave ownership devolved on 1/3 of white southerners and 1/2 in MS, LA and SC. There were more slave owners in the south than there were real property owners in the north.

You still haven't told me where you got these numbers you are parroting on the other thread like I asked. You do have a source to parrot, don't you?

Well, that's the thing, WP.

I'm a conservative, and I support allowing black people to vote and serve on juries.

I also oppose tariffs and protectionism of any kind.

Additionally, I believe aggressive public works projects - I'm sorry, "internal improvements" - are a huge drain on taxpayers and are essentially a tactic to expand the size and scope of government intrusion in daily life.

I also believe that the best way to settle disputes among Americans is through negotiation and the ballot box, not Waco-style federal bulldozing.

So it really doesn't surprise me, as a conservative, that Lincoln is not worshipped as a secular god here on FR.
