Anti-American, I see. Lincoln was the greatest president after Washington without a doubt. In many ways he had to face a bigger problem than George. They both faced the same enemies hostile to the strengthening of the nation and Union. Those who hate Lincoln give proof of their anti-Americanism with every comment out of their Lie-Holes.
While the comments of the D.S.(Defenders of Slaverocracy) do nothing to injure his glory they certainly mark their makers as unworthy of regard on any serious issue. And dishonest to boot.

Oh, please. Could you be any more inflammatory? The Civil War was not about slavery. In fact, Lincoln himself once said that he would keep slavery to preserve the Union. The War of Northern Agression (as its known in the South) was about political and economic power. Slavery was already on its way out when the war began, and most Southerners didn't even own slaves.
Our Founders envisioned a limited Federal government. Lincoln wanted a centralized, all-powerful Federal government. He arrested people and held them without charges, suspending the writ of habeus corpus, and a whole host of other bad actions that would make any power-hungry dictator proud.
Ever-faithful to the vision of limited government put forth by our founders, I am a REAL American.
Your vitriolic attacks against those who disagree with your estimation of Lincoln makes YOU unworthy of regard on any serious issue.
So there.
