ReplyDeletebut if it was a Confederate one > Nothing Done !!!!
Why waste the money? Soros and his liberal radicals will have it tore down in 10 years or less.
ReplyDeleteMLK is next.
ReplyDeletethat is the best monument in DC. Whoever did that should be whipped and beaten.
ReplyDeleteI believe we should tear down all monuments to Lincoln, as his war killed more Americans that all the other wars combined.
ReplyDeleteMLK street signs get RID of them also.
ReplyDeleteOnly the beginning!
ReplyDeleteto 4:35.....You are way off. Do some research so you don't look and sound so ignorant of history. But you might have an excuse since actual unfiltered history is no longer taught.

ReplyDeleteI stand corrected, but "way off", if you believe that, you need to do your own research:
"Roughly 1,264,000 American soldiers have died in the nation's wars--620,000 in the Civil War and 644,000 in all other conflicts. It was only as recently as the Vietnam War that the amount of American deaths in foreign wars eclipsed the number who died in the Civil War."
Lincoln is saved from my previous comment by the 50.000(+) that died in the Vietnam War.
Feel better? I don't. Let me rephrase my distaste for Lincoln and the convoluted history of him written after his assassination. Lincoln killed more Americans with his Civil War, than any in other war Americans have ever fought, and by a massive amount. My original comment was only a slight percentage off. The premise that his legacy has been distorted is still spot on. I believe you were exposed to the propaganda taught in the schools concerning Lincoln's legacy, and not the truth of history. YOUR ignorance is excused for that.
On the other hand, Wikipedia says:

The war resulted in at least 1,030,000 casualties (3 percent of the population), including about 620,000 soldier deaths—two-thirds by disease, and 50,000 civilians.[12] Binghamton University historian J. David Hacker believes the number of soldier deaths was approximately 750,000, 20 percent higher than traditionally estimated, and possibly as high as 850,000.[20][211] The war accounted for more American deaths than in all other U.S. wars combined.[212]
Lincoln in his writings, advocated the elimination of slavery, as a moral issue, but also advocated sending them back to Africa, as he never intended for the freed slaves to become citizens of this country. His wrings are clear in his opinion of slaves. They could not, and should not be assimilated into American society. Except for a bullet in his head, this would be a far different country today.
