You know I did not believe in aliens until I read some of these posts. How can anyone be this stupid, and be from earth? "Two legged beast in the field"? Really? I just retired from the Army and spent the last 7 years in Germany, after reading this, I see that nothing has changed here. It is truly sad. Lincoln did not give two shits about the slaves. He abolished slavery because the cotton gin had all but taken over the cotton industry, they were more effective and less expensive, and it would end the drama and fighting over slavery. He wanted to Union to stay in tact, whether it was all slave or all free, he did not care. To suggest or to say that he ended slavery because it was the right thing to do is "Re fucking tarded!" The man was a racist plain and simply. Wake up people!!
