Ok, you guys win. Let's tear down the Lincoln Monument, rewrite the history books denouncing Lincoln as the worst President in US history, and admit the Civil War wasn't about slavery, happy now. Now how has that changed your/mine/anyone's lot in life in 2014? Answer it wouldn't and it never could. Besides I find it very hard to believe any President from Washington on down would have idly sat by while a state seceded from the Union. Lincoln was just the only one that had to face that happening.
Seems to me a much more intelligent use of one's time and energy would be to concentrate on the problems we face in the here and now, not what happened 150 years ago.
