Looking back on the whole bloody mess, I truly believe that it was completely pointless EXCEPT as a maneuver to obliterate southern independence.

I was taught to believe that Abraham Lincoln was a great national hero and that he was a tireless opponent of slavery, but now after all of the books that I’ve been reading about the subject I’ve reached an altogether different conclusion and have come to see Lincoln in an altogether different light, not as a national hero but rather as a ruthless tyrant who employed dishonest subterfuge in the service of a nefarious goal that is totally at odds with everything that I was taught to believe.

Is there anyone else who feels the same way ?
