#1 You are correct! Read the civil war trilogy written by Shelby Foote. The reasons are the same, the Northern Oligarchy of the time made their living by turning cotton into exported products. The rich in the north and the south hated Lincoln!
Now Google “ Ten richest people in the USA”, and ask yourself why they support people like Biden.

#2 Lincoln, Reagan, and Trump all put the lie to their claims old white men are all racist. but they'll try to twist words and change history if necessary.

#3 The papers also tried to ruin Grant by claiming he was a drunk. Grant taught Sherman how to fight at Vicksburg even though Sherman was opposed to the attack. He taught him more at Chattanooga. The student became a master and marched through the south.

#4 Only one of the three presidents suspended habeas corpus, and it wasn't Reagan or Trump.

#5 Don't forget Richard Nixon. The hate for Nixon was every bit as bad as it is for Trump, maybe even worse. But I think that history will be much kinder to him. We know now that Watergate was a schoolboy prank compared to some of the crimes that Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton, Obama and Biden have committed.

#6 Compared with what is transpiring now, I hardly even think of Nixon. Definitely Kinderspiel in comparison.

And even Nixon resigned, some say, for the good of the country.

#7 Yeah, and I remember people saying Nixon was a dictator. What kind of a dictator resigns?

#9 Of course, how the MSM/Dems changed their tune about Tokyo Rose McCain. And funny how he was setting up a 'foundation' a la the Clintons.

But when running for president, Huffington Post said he was "unfit to lead". That may have been true, but....

#10 So the word "Democrap$" (w/o the $ sign) doesn't make it through the filter? Kind of odd.

#13 I love how Trump is supposedly evil for "attempting to intimidate the media" while Obama is given a pass for using law enforcement and intelligence agencies to harass reporters critical of his administration.
