| Funny, how it is that we forget that even though he did not want war, he did want a unified country. If nothing more we could at least thank him for the stance that allowed the world to survive 2 world wars, see the downfall of communism and possibly allow freedom for everyone who prizes it for what it is worth. He may have been a racist, but you can write that because he stood for your freedom to be able to say that. |

I'm not so sure he stood for freedom...mine or anyone's...the southerners of the time would agree. He suspended habeus corpus and instituted martial law.
What Mr. Lincoln did stand for though was for union and a united nation called the U.S.of A. He didn't really care what cause was used to get the men to fight...so long as they fought. Freedom, liberty, abolition, you name it...as long as this country was not divided. These are his own words.Unity was his sole intent. It is an unfortunate smite to Mr. Lincoln and "One nation, under God, Indivisible, with liberty, and justice for all...that we now have a government hell bent on creating division...of removing liberties...and refusing justice. I'm still talking about our America...but not the America our founding fathers envisioned.
This stance did not allow the world to survive two world wars...it only shifted the power base so that the next world war would be the last.If anyone allowed the world to survive these wars...it was God Almighty who has used many wicked nations to exact His purpose in order to teach humanity the lessons it has once again forgotten. |

| Let me also add that unity is a law of nature...but what it must allow...is diversity. All of nature is united to minister to one another, even as diverse as it is. Only man and mankind has removed himself from these same laws because of greed. He takes...not because he needs, but because he desires. And there are some who desire much, much more than they need, at the expense of those they should be ministering to as the laws of nature prescribe. |
