        SEEING actual photos, as opposed to paintings or illustrations, of Lincoln always gives me pause. I guess because it makes history more REAL

        Less than two lifetimes ago - hard to believe 155 years later as a country we are still fighting the same war over race relations

        We're not fighting over race relations today. We're fighting over whether the left or America wins. Left merely uses race to keep base votig

        Untrue. The questions as to the principles they fought over are still relevant today, as the left keeps shoving crap down our throats.

        I wonder if Lincoln was trying to control himself from reaching across that table and throttling McClellan.
