If you want to start a Civil War thread, start one. Don't turn this into one by launching an attack on a president someone mentioned. That has happened too many times here.

attack? hows that an attack? i wasnt putting down lincoln. i merely stated an extra little fact about him. Lincoln was still a good president. better then most, in fact. But people shouldnt put him higher then he was. he was still a great president, but i thought some people should know that if they didnt already.
seems you took that the wrong way. it may have been strongly worded, sure, but not an attack.
