Jim C, why is it you never take president Lincoln to task for not freeing the slaves in the north prior to supposedly going to war to do the same for slaves in the south? Why do you not slam Lincolns memory for his allowing for thousands of slaves to die in horrible conditions in the north while he sat on a veranda sipping tea brought to him by slaves? Why do you suggest Lincoln was right to allow these northern slaves to suffer, to turn his head and look away from what was happening right at his door step, just because it would have been unpopular for him personally if freeing slaves was so important to him? Why do you not take issue with Lincoln for the unfair taxes he placed on the south which resulted in the action the south took at Ft. Sumter? Why do you keep trying to rewrite the history books? What is so important about Lincoln for you that you would champion someone who allowed slaves to die while he played politics? How can you champion someone who sent thousands of men to their deaths, and caused the deaths of thousands of innocents, in a war because he wanted nothing more than to control trade in the south? Do you think that killing people today is justified in order to control trade and commerce?

How can you be so ignorant of historical facts? Why are you being so selective in which propaganda you wish promoted?
