Philip B. Kunhardt III discusses Looking for Lincoln: The Making of an American Icon. This book describes the myths, memories, and questions that gathered around Lincoln in the years between his assassination and the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in 1922, and examines how our 16th Presidents legend came into being. Kunhardt tells the story through the voices of those who knew the man and through stories carefully selected from long-forgotten newspapers, magazines, and family scrapbooks.

  • EducatedRebellion: There were two sides to this story, and clearly the side you take is one of extremes. Certainly it could be called the war of southern agression, as well. Who fired on Ft. Sumter? It was powerful central government vs. weak central government/states rights. No, nowhere in the US Constitution did it say secession was not illegal, but the precedent was set, however, with the south LOSING the war. Hey, bud: the south lost, get over it!

  • TYRANT personified, slaughtered over a half a million Americans with his War of Northern Agression. How many brainwashed peasants worship this type of political tyranny and suspension of Habius Corpus ??? The people have NEVER elected ANY presidents, the corrupted electoral college does that for the U.S. federal corporation.
