310 Our man, Abraham Lincoln, closed down 300 newspapers and put lying, agitating journalists in prison! posted 3 years ago by HarleyRoseTX 3 years ago by HarleyRoseTX +310 / -0 https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/executive-order-arrest-and-imprisonment-irresponsible-newspaper-reporters-and-editors 27 comments share 27 comments share save hide report block hide replies
I have no love lost for A. Lincoln. and you?
Well, I wish he would have followed through with sending all the freed slaves back to Africa, not just some. He did fall short on that.
No other nation had to fight a civil war to end slavery. The slave owners were simply compensated for their losses. Lincoln seemed to have wanted war to beat down the south.
That's pretty accurate.
