I'll pick on Wild Bill. He is obviously an intelligent, well educated person. I respect his opinion, he sometimes presents information in a way I hadn't thought of before, but there are times I don't agree with him. Same with you Don. I see people with strong feelings on both sides of the issue expressing themselves. An interesting aspect of Lincoln's life was defending his beliefs and those of his party, dealing with the horror's of war, being disappointed with political allies and military leaders. The very same things we re discussing now.

What we are talking about from a distance of 150 years, he was in the middle of. His cabinet meetings must have been really something. Can you imagine how frustrated everyone was. I see on a small scale, what Lincoln went through.
