The biggest myth about Lincoln was that he freed all the slaves. Actually Lincoln never did free all the slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation only proclaimed the slaves in all territories held by the Confederates free, but didn't free any of the slaves in the North. It also did not apply to the border states and their 300,000 slaves. It was just a political move to get support in Europe and to encourage the slaves to rebel and cause trouble in the South.

what a bunch of bullshit. i watched the same show and saw absolutely nothing about lincoln being a slave owner. he's from illinois, for christ's sake! that was NOT a slave state! his proclamation stated ALL men are free, no exclusions. what show did you watch? maybe you took too many breaks while it was on and missed what it was all about...

and don't even bring up slavery. it was you europeans who started that shit over here. we ended it. granted it took longer than it should have, but nevertheless, we ended it on our own.

So what? Europeans started it before America even existed. You then continued it for a long time before abolishing it. Britain abolished slavery all over the British Empire in 1833. France abolished slavery in their colonies in 1794. The USA was one of the last to get rid of it, and was still legally racist well into the 1960s.

we continued it for 60 years after becoming free from the royalty and only 27 years after britain...so what's your point? you infused our country with slavery (along with the dutch, portugese and spanish) 100's of years before.

and legally racist??? wtf is that about? as if you all are welcoming the ethinics into your countries today!?!?

sheesh...

While ironically Torog appears to be the biggest conspiracy theorist on here, just look at my signature.

Howdy U4EUH,

My statement: "The fact is,is that muslims,homosexuals and liberals,are all plotting,even as we speak,against America,family values and Christianity. It ain't a theroretical conspiracy either,it's rooted in fact."

It is a factual statement,not only are the anti-American muslims plotting against the US,but the entire Free World,as well..homosexual activists,are international in the scope of their activities,and liberals are always plotting against everyone that is not a liberal. As a veteran,I do not formulate my friend or foe list,based on conspiracies,it is incumbent upon me,to deal in facts..not surround every issue in infinite shades of gray..I have to 'git-r-done'..in order to ensure the safety of America..as a citizen/soldier..and as a father.

Have a good one...
