RE: Abraham Lincoln: "Big enough to be inconsistent."
Bill,
There's a school of thought now that slaves were not the passive recipients of the white man's largesse, but instead did much to free themselves. While that certainly is true to a point, what's often forgotten is that for such action to take place en masse, it was necessary for the war to be fought and for Lincoln to get the ball rolling with the Emancipation Proclamation. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln in the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
