The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln - Part 1 of 6

Americans are brainwashed from a very young age to believe that Abraham Lincoln was a great American president. Nothing could be further from the truth.

@nappyweed111 Firstly there is no proof that Jefferson slept with Sally Hemmings as you claim. Secondly, Lincoln was hardly "courageous" in ending slavery. He did so as a cynical war measure - nothing more. He was a flaming racist himself and wanted to deport all blacks which he said publicly and repeatedly.

What the US should have done is implement a compensated emancipation scheme like everybody else did...but the northern states opposed that-they didn't want to pay.

@kisha1682 Lincoln on Slavery: "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery." --- March 14, 1861

"What I would most desire would be the separation of the white and black races." --- 7-17-1858, fr. a speech delivered in Springfield, Ill.

"I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, or of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people." --- September 15, 1858

Booth was Hero - Lincoln was a scoundrel

@KevinVancouver2 Yeah so.......? The civil war happened for reasons that were outside of his control. The war broke almost as soon as he took office. He is the reason that the US has stayed together. Do your research before you make judgements.

Ok so who was abraham lincoln to you ? really

[kisha1682]

Alot of people don't like Abe because he was the leader of the Union Army and the south wanted things to stay the same, i.e. slavery. Please, the south is the most backwards part of America that I have ever seen. There are still people to this day that don't like the man. And,for what? None of them lived during this time so what the hell do they do know about. Get a life people!

[KevinVancouver2]

I don't think Lincoln was a Great President - remember he was the guy in charge when the Civil War happened.
