[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1330265, member: 19397"] I'm not a Lincoln fan either. I've read a couple accounts where he didn't give a rat's you-know-what about the slaves. He is quoted in a couple speeches in Illinois, one being in the pro-abolitionist North promoting abolition and then in the southern part of the state promoting slavery. It's also referenced in quite a few historical texts that he freed the slaves as a way to cripple the southern states into submission. He's just another politician but b/c he 'reunited' America and technically freed the slaves, he'll always be remembered as a hero. [/QUOTE]
