Thank you for providing actual history to counter the revisionism of other members.
You could best illustrate that by pointing out anything I have written that was untrue or out of context.
What I find interesting in all of this is that before the war, Lincoln was all about limiting the power of the Federal Government re: the Corwin Amendment.
The sad truth is, if Lincoln had not been assassinated by that miserable little cabal immediately after the war, life in the post-war South would likely have been quite different, and memories less bitter.
