"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:

#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."

#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."

Another quote from Lincoln. Could this answer the question "What did Lincoln really stand for: freedom or slavery?"

    You are correct in you evaluation of this tyrant. I would hope that one day this country would come to it's senses, and tear down all the monuments that have been constructed in the image of this destroyer of the real american people.

    Lincoln was a monster who destroyed our republic using lies and manpulation to push the agenda of the NY bankers. He is loved because we have been brainwashed to believe that the head long run to one world government serves us best and nothing else matters. How interesting that he is the love of the left too. The poor dummies like Mark Levine, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity who have a daily worship of this man speaks either to thier stupidity or lack of values or an agenda....

    One step toward real freedom is to throw off the lies of lincoln. He enslave us all to a central government.

    I am soooo glad a few people actually know the truth about Lincoln. He was a warmonger and a murderer. Only he could rage war and kill 600K Americans under the call for solidarity. He was and is our worst president ever. I only wish history had written it that way.

    Lincoln wanted a "lily-white America with no native-americans, african-americans, and Martin Luther Kings."

    sad but true... and to think, Obama used the same bible as Lincoln at the Inauguration Ceremony, he went to Lincoln's home town before the Inauguaration, and traveled the same route as Lincoln from Lincoln's hometown (Springfield) to the Inauguration...

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