Abraham Lincoln

Racist, un-constitutionalist, tyrannical bigot killed more Americans than any other President. My interest in Honest Abe, was always about the darker parts of his history, that the High School History books skipped. People are complex, so I didn't want the caricature, I wanted to know his humanity. He was racist orator (just less racist than his contemporaries), with an ego big enough to kill half a million men. Freeing the slaves was a byproduct of the war his election victory started. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2017-05-19

Honest Abe, great progressive President and statesman, who fought for equal rights for blacks, freed the slaves, and the Democrats wish he was theirs. (I do too).	Started a war over a punitive tax policy and not wanting to bear the brunt of Compensated emancipation, got 600K Americans killed, tore the nation apart, shat on the Constitution. An abolitionist white-supremacist who didn't think of blacks as equal, but more like the ASPCA thinks of pets: an inferior species that needs to be protected by a superior one.

Civil War and Slavery

           Main article: Civil War and Slavery

History is rich and complex, not this shallow flat "good vs. bad" or the North was righteous and the South was evil bullshit. Since I care about the uncomfortable truths, more than the comforting fictions, I often discuss these things. In the real world, Slavery was the largest catalyst of bigger schism going on. But without slavery the pending war was still likely.
