Abe Lincoln ordered the hanging of the men — all without trial — that cold day after xmas, in the year of the Jewish lord Jesus, 1,862 years after he was hanged (with trial).
For this reason, it is expected that Lincoln be removed from his position as “hero” and relegated to a more appropriate position, to somewhere near the status of “columbus” and “hitler.” We demand that Abe Lincoln's dishonest and shameful face be removed from the "occupied" (see www.1851treaty.com) and desecrated area called “Mount Rushmore” immediately.

Abraham Lincoln was, by all accounts, an honest man. I believe one of the first acts on his part that earned him his famous moniker was when he walked ten or so miles in the snow to return a library book before it became overdue.
Little Blake, nineteen-months-old, is only slightly younger than Abe was when his family moved into the tiny cabin which measures about 20 feet by 15 feet.

It was the Southerners who seceded starting with South Carolina, Lincoln did not 'start' anything, unless perhaps you want to include the big speech he made prior to his election in 1860, wherein he denounced what slavery meant for the future of the country.
Lincoln was always very honest, he was caught in no lies, because he lived simply and made none.
One of the great things about Lincoln is how humble his beginnings were from a log cabin in Kentucky, to a self-taught lawyer, to a politician who made it only because he was a such a great orator.
