History is a scary thing when people can view the past with entirely conflicting eyes. Everyone has their own truth.
I could fill a book showing Lincoln to be a terrible person, and fill another showing him a saint, and they could both be entirely half true. Of course, the same could be said about almost anyone.
If you stare too far off into only one direction, you may fail to see all of the truths that lie opposite.
Not that this adds anything to the discussion, but I am personally a fan of Mr. Lincoln when all is said and done.
Cheers all!
