Teddy for President!

go hayes!

I feel so bad for John Adams.
"Jefferson still lives..!"

By the way---it would not be the first time someone has done something just because everyone else is doing it (namely LEE)...I admire many of his qualities, but I wish that he had shown some backbone to VA...maybe others would have sided with him and VA would not have joined the SOUTH...but we will never know...because HE CAVED in the name of the SOUTH just because VA went...

Brother, I agree with you on so many levels but I still consider Lincoln as a tyrant. As two, apparently, educated people, let's agree to disagree on this matter because I am glad we are still one nation as well. I just don't like the fact that our federal government grew so quickly during the reconstruction.

WOW---you can't see spin right in front of you---how naive...Lincoln was the one of the first MEDIA BASED PRESIDENTS!!! Plus, he was a politician...THEY LIE...THEY SMOOOZE. He one goal---keeping the country together. I never said that he was a saintly person. I just said that I AM THANKFUL FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO STAND BETWEEN TWO OPPOSING SIDES AND KEEP US (THE NORTH AND SOUTH) for screwing UTOPIA (or at least an attempt at it). That is a huge contribution. The rest is YAH_YAH....

Cleveland was a great president.
|
Careful who you tout as great...actions speak louder than words.
Lincoln may have freed the slaves with an nefarious motive---but he freed them. AND DID NOT HESITATE TO IT, NOR DID HE WHINE ABOUT IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL EVEN THOUGH IN THEORY IT WAS AT THE TIME---But that the hard moral question about enslaving your fellow man is a bitch,too.
|
I thought Lincoln's top priority from the start was to restore the Union; whether that meant freeing the slaves or not.
|
Wow, finally---someone gets it...yes, you are correct it was his top priority because slavery was dying enterprise...
