Atlas Person of the Century: 19th

[DownWithTheLeft]

Abraham Lincoln, for leading what was the freest nation of Earth into a war to dissolve state sovereignty. saving the greatest nation on earth.

From what, may I ask?

From being split, and irrevocably weakened.

Yeah, because the war left us completely invulnerable to outside attack

[DownWithTheLeft]

Because Slavery is completley okay and state's rights beat human rights...

You really should open a history book if you think
A.) Lincoln cared even a tad about freeing the slaves (the I'd free all the slaves or none of the slaves to free the union quote)
B.) The Civil War was based on slavery

No he did not but he was against it expanding in any form and the Republican Party was the more leftist party against freeing the slaves. Lesser of two evils here.
Also on the bottom one wtf? The Civil War was almost totally based off of slavery, and the issues it created. The deep South seceeded from the Union because it was afraid Lincoln would free all the slaves and destroy their economy, and most of the upper South seceeded because Lincoln was going to put down the rebellion and march on the Confederacy. This was unacceptable to most of the Upper South.

The lower south seceded over tariffs and state right's, the upper South seceded because they did not want Lincoln to start a war
