This sort of talk makes my blood run cold.

Selecting Lincoln in a BROKERED CONVENTION led to America's FIRST Civil War. Where 620,000 American Citizens died; many more maimed. In a country of just 31 million people.

Lincoln had no real interest in negotiating with Americans living in the South. He was a very poor Diplomat. Ruthless. It was his way, or die.

A NEW LINCOLN - just what we need......

It was his way, or die.

It was his way, or two countries instead of one USA. Two countries with war inevitable, sooner or later.
