Hey, Bobert-

Do yourself a favor ( and I mean this kindly - not as a taunt or condemnation ) and read at least the books that I mentioned above.

Internet research on the Civil War? Please. That's the bailiwick of crazies. Try the real historians. I think you'd actually appreciate what they have to say. Books is where the real info is - not in cyberspace.

But I still can't figure out how you can blame Abe for things that happened from the point following his death & and for the succeeding 50+ years.

Be well-

Greg
