"The Yankees needed to find a way to try and justify their invasion of the South to themselves. They did that by manufacturing a non-existent consolidated nation that had to be kept intact. Lincoln and Seward were the authors of this hoax although they had plenty of help earlier from Daniel Webster and Henry Clay. The people, less than 1/3 (39%%. BT) of whom had voted for Lincoln, chose him to be their champion; a demigod to lead them down the righteous path. But even that was not enough. They also had to create him as the enemy of slavery and the emancipator of men, who he never was.
ANYONE who even reads the slightest bit of history on the matter will understand that at best Lincoln was indifferent to the plight of the slaves and in actuality, supported deporting them all. He repeatedly made statements stating that he thought blacks were inferior to white men and that they should not be afforded the rights of white men.
The modern historical Lincoln is a total fabrication. That man never existed. He in fact was a crude, poorly educated, big-business lawyer who won the Presidency through a fluke splitting of the Democratic party. He is directly and personally responsible for the invasion of the South and the deaths of over 600,000 men and 50,000 civilians. Under his direct orders, war was deliberately waged against civilians and private property. If he lived today, he would be tried and hung by an international war crimes tribunal. He violated the constitution more than any other president before or since. Enshrining his effigy in a marble temple in Washington followed by hundreds of academics busily rewriting history for 150 years does not change the fundamental truths about this greatest of depots, under which Americans have suffered, or relieve the guilt of those who fought his unholy war.
In the end, he received his just due, although I wish he had died after laying in some field half the night with his guts blown out like so many of the men he murdered."
