[LincolnMan]

His points are known—I’ve read them by others before. As I’ve said before- everyone must study, weigh the evidence, and form an opinion on things. It doesn’t mean our opinions are correct. It doesn’t mean we won’t change our thinking on something at some point. Most matters are very complex. No one is monochromatic. Lincoln did great things. Perhaps he made some really bad decisions too—we all do. It behooves us as students of history to be familiar with all the facets of a thing-whether it be an event, a battle, a cause, a person. And Lincoln too.
