>>My dislike of Lincoln has absolutely nuthin' to do with slavery, which was on its way out anyway, but his stubborness in not makin' a greater effort to prevent the War-Between-the-States... A great man would have made a greater effort...<<

My criticism of Lincoln is that he didn't wipe out all Southerners. Had he done so, a huge cesspool of rightwing assholes would not exist today and we wouldn't be in the mess we are in. I say we attack the fucking South again and this time finish the job proper.
