      For the record, when Lincoln said "a house divided cannot stand" he did not mean "we need to compromise with the slave owners", he meant "we are going to crush them into the dirt" and then he did.pic.twitter.com/RE4uLWynj5

      There are certainly American presidents in history who tried to find a middle ground and a sensible compromise and you don't remember their names because they never got anything done.

      This ad campaign is for "civility" but Lincoln started a war that killed 625,000 Americans, more than any war in history. He sacrificed 2% of the population. He drenched the continent in blood for the principle of keeping the nation unified. "Civility" my ass.

          I apologize for saying Lincoln started the war, obviously the south started the war. I should have said "conducted".

          You know what history calls people who were civil to Nazis? Nazis. They call them Nazis.

          sometimes civility means every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword

          "You were given the choice between war and dishonour... you chose dishonour and you will have war." That was the quote that Churchill said when a UK prime minister agreed to negotiate with Hitler even when Hitler violated some terms. We all know what happened next.

          Can you review how Lincoln started the Civil War, for those of us who may not know? Thanks!

          Lincoln didn’t start anything. Insurrectionist SouthCarolinians fired on a U.S. Atmy installation and other rebels acted similarly immediately afterwards.
