I grew up in Kentucky and had Lincoln crammed down my throat as a kid. When I was old enough to figure things out it became evident what a [bleep] the man was. He destroyed the Union so that it could be rebuilt as a progressive nation.
My in laws are from Minnesota and Michigan. My wife’s maternal grand father thought Lincoln was just below Jesus in stature. I don’t miss a chance to point out what the bastard did to this country and the legacy that he left in a bastardized government.
