RE: Abraham Lincoln was a Politician
And that is not the half of it.
If Lincoln was a great man, he would have avoided this war by making fair the tax burden. Instead, he pushed the south into a corner, and when they responded with, do not cross this line or else, he crossed that line (of course, using some cannon fodder instead of himself)
Yup, it was a real tragedy. I once toured the Gettysburg battlefield.... The Carnage was horrific.
