Abraham Lincoln: Liar, Racist, Tyrant.
Ranked #1,888 in Culture & Society, #43,572 overall
"Send over 600,000 Americans to their deaths, or destroy the Constitution... why choose? I can do BOTH!"
Abraham Lincoln did not abolish slavery. He had no Constitutional jurisdiction with which to prevent the lawful secession of eleven U.S. States. He was a puppet of "big rail," the prevailing corporate interests of his day.
Abraham Lincoln was perhaps the worst President in the history of the United States of America. Is that hard to believe? Check out some of the following quotes:
Abraham Lincoln was perhaps the worst President in the history of the United States of America. Is that hard to believe? Check out some of the following quotes:
#1.) Lincoln cared nothing for enslaved blacks.
“If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it....”
"If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."------

#2.) Lincoln was a white supremacist.
“I never have been in favor of bringing about the equality of the white and black races.”
"I am not now, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social or political equality of the white and black races. I am not now nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor of intermarriages with white people. There is a physical difference between the white and the black races which will forever forbid the two races living together on social or political equality. There must be a position of superior and inferior, and I am in favor of assigning the superior position to the white man."-----
Source: Abraham Lincoln said this in a speech he delivered to the people of Charleston, Illinois in 1858.

#3.) Lincoln used black soldiers as cannon fodder.
“whatever negroes can be got to do as soldiers, leaves just so much less for white soldiers to do...”
"I thought that in your struggle for the Union, to whatever extent the negroes should cease helping the enemy, to that extent it weakened the enemy in his resistance to you. Do you think differently? I thought that whatever negroes can be got to do as soldiers, leaves just so much less for white soldiers to do, in saving the Union. Does it appear otherwise to you? But negroes, like other people, act upon motives. Why should they do any thing for us, if we will do nothing for them? If they stake their lives for us, they must be prompted by the strongest motive—even the promise of freedom. And the promise being made, must be kept."-----
Source: Abraham Lincoln wrote this in a letter to James C. Conkling dated August 26, 1863.

- Lincoln was a tryrant. It furstrates me even more that americans now glorify him as a hero. He was the closest to tyranny the United States ever came. No one ever tells the whole story about him either. No school teacher will ever tell you that he oredered the attacs of several CIVILIAN targets. They will never tell you about all the times that he acted without or completely against congressional approval simply because the military supported him so much. I doubt anyone here knows that several congressman and senators from around the country were concerned that he would even leave his position after his 4 years because of his support from the military.

- It is true that Lincoln himself was essentially a tyrant and a scumbag; however, he was a tyrant and scumbag who, inadvertently, stumbled into waging a war of liberation and effecting a revolution from above against the planter aristocracy of the South. The real heroes of that revolution are, of course, the people who rose up against slavery from below--the Nat Turners and John Browns, the poor white southerners who saw through the planters' deceptions and fought against their tyranny, and the countless northern soldiers who gave their lives for the cause of emancipation, a cause which Lincoln himself only adopted because it was the only way to restore the morale of his troops. The tragedy of the revolution is that it was ultimately co-opted by northern industrial interests more concerned about profit than about human life.

- Absolutely right about him caring nothing of the black race. He freed them only to use them for voting power. Booth was absolutely correct in everything he said about Lincoln. And he was a Republican.
This just goes to show that the party doesn't matter. It's the person's ideals, morals, and values. Lincoln was nothing but a power-hungry tyrant.

- I have been aware of the "qualities" of Lincoln since DiLorenzo's work. When the "qualities" of this man are known, it becomes clear why he has been deified by the collectivists.
In this tyrant, America had its first Caesar, the one who sowed the seeds for the rise of amerika.
He should be buried in an unmarked grave and history set straight with respect to this abomination in human form who was, indeed, a liar, cheat and racist.

- I HAVE BEEN STUNNED DURING THE PAST FEW YEARS TO LEARN THAT LINCOLN WAS A RACIST! as more facts come to light concerning the feelings he had for African Americans, the more disappointment I feel. I SAW A DOCUMENTARY ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL recently that showed that near the end of Lincoln's life, the admiration among black Americans had grown so enormous that many times when they saw him in person, some, would resort to to bowing on their knees to HIM! But I wonder how they would have felt if they heard him speak these words,THERE MUST BE A POSITION OF SUPERIOR AND INFERIOR AND I AM IN FAVOR OF ASSIGNING THE SUPERIOR POSITION TO THE WHITE MAN. If I ever visit Washington D.C. believe me ,I won't go see the Lincoln memorial!!!!!

Does controversy make you uncomfortable? I'm okay with it, so long as the facts get out.
