OK, LH and Bobert, you're on.

Bobert--Lincoln did not stay with McClellan, as you know. In fact, as many have pointed out, he went through several until he decided to stay with Grant.

LH--let's have some specifics on what Lincoln did wrong to cause the Civil War. Do you think he should have let the South secede? Otherwise pure speculation comes close to a waste of time--I wouldn't think you have that much to waste. I sure don't--but I believe in facts.

As you guys are aware, I'm sure, you're not the only enthusiastic amateur historians on the 'Cat. I think there are a fair number of us.

I have no objection to iconoclasm--but let's have some facts.
