Thank God I went to grade school in South Carolina in the 60's. My fourth grade teacher's grandfather fought in the war. She told me the real story. God bless you, Mrs. Corder.

I went to a SC high school in the early 90's with a history teacher from Missouri who was proud of her Union ancestors and missed no opportunity to defame the Confederate Cause. I ended up teaching half of the class in order to point out the errors in our text book and in her version of history.

Here's a short clip about the deification of Lincoln by pro-System historians.

I'm glad we still have a few people out there that care about facts rather than the made up 'history' of the Civil War. Lincoln was the biggest terrorist in this countrie's history in my opinion...

The U.S. govt. sacrificed 3,000 soldiers at Pearl Harbor in 1941 to the Empire of Japan; the U.S. govt. poisons and adulterates our water with the waste product sodium fluoride and the blood intoxicant known as lithium (as well as innumerable heavy metals and pesticides). The U.S. govt. clouds the skies with aluminum oxide and barium salt. I am able and willing to turn YOU over to Iraq's citizens for dispensation. Murder is murder. The murdering of children is especially abhorrent.

God bless John Wilkes Booth. Sic Semper Tyrannis.

@TrevBenson lol. 1: Lincoln did not carve his own statue. 2: The fasces in the statue has no axe; which symbolize that the rights of the citizens are superior to the authority of the state. 3: Fasces has been used in numerous non-fascistic themes. 4: The fasces became a fascism symbol (with loads of other symbols) long after Lincoln. 5: Fasces depict strength trough unity. 6..

-I'm not an American and does not know to much about Lincoln, but that was a pore argument :)

You made me laugh tho :D

Agree...the Northern Whigs had been for decades trying to promote and push Corporate Welfare into the Federal Government; Lincoln was the President who finally allowed it.

John Tylaer, a Whig himself, knew these measures were unconstitutional avd Veto'd them consistantly...pretty sad when you own Party President shoots you down.

Anyways, Lincoln did one good thing...took a bullet.

Actually, the Reds called the social democrats "Social Fascists" well before the Sanish Civil War.

I think Lincoln would have been our first president for life (instead of FDR) had he lived. The "election" of 1864 was a joke.

[Luigi84289]

The biggest in the world. Who knows what would have happened if he wasn't silenced. He looked at himself as allpowerful. I have no doubt that one of the first things he would have done after the war was officially over and reconstruction was under way was ship off all the slaves. He kept advocating this and he was one of the last of the supporters of this type of emancipation.

Man's inhumanity to Man is a running, seemingly inescapable, theme throughout human history. The titular head of America's great 19th century bloodletting was Abraham Hitler Lincoln. Septicemia ruled the countryside throughout the mid-1860's. Forbearance demands forgiveness. Somehow, some way, righteousness shall triumph. Wide-scale institutionalized murder reduced the population of Cambodia from 7 million to 3 million in the 1970's. History is replete with atrocities.
