Lincoln Research

[Eva Elisabeth]

Welcome to the forum, Dani.

I agree with ElCore and David and second Angela and Gene. Re.: ...about how modern films and media contribute to misportrayal on Abraham Lincoln" - my perception is that exactly that is happening on that link.

Telling truth is a sublime and noble thing to do, the claiming of which, especially when challenging "established/popular views", IMO does require some evidence, some more in-depthness, some q.e.d. (quod est demonstrandum) - otherwise it remains an opinion, a theory, an axiom. (Well said, Laurie, as for that the mention of his name can stir up a hornet's nest of opinions....so better to be prepared.)

"It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: 'And this, too, shall pass away.'"
