Jacob. Open your history book, boy!! I know you're not from the U.S. but come now.... LOL!

If you do some research about him, you'll find out that he was an amazing President.

I agree. He was a great man.

I'm sorry I don't feel the same way about the man...
If you want to know why, just do a search on his name and guatemala, nicaragua, el salvador, foreign policy, El Mozote, etc....

My parents feel something like that. They (and they've showed me good reasons) that we don't really have the greatest presidents. I think we started having some not-so-good ones about the time "good ol' Abe" was around. (We don't like Abe a bit)
But, I still do happen to know who most of the presidents are. I love history, world history, American History, any kind of history!

I understand that not everybody is going to agree. And *I* don't agree with every decision he made. But the same could be said about each and every President we've had. There has been no perfect President, because there are no perfect people. But, he's one of my childhood heroes.

And......I want to add that I love it that the people on this board are able to disagree agreeably, without attacking each others beliefs.

Hmmm, he is my great, great, great, great, great, great uncle...... :unsure:

Seriously, Rhonda?? How cool!

Well, That would be cool, I guess. Just the whole 'war between the states' thing, I think he did some things that wheren't the greatest. But, that's ok. I'm realeted to Henry Ford, who was a close friend of Hitler.

Yes, it's true, Rob.

I hope no one in your family inherited any of Mary Lincoln's... um, eccentricities.

I will leave THAT for Rhonda to answer. :unsure: :Hahaha:

Umm, well, er, um.....that is where the connection comes in.....my dad has some Todd's on his side of the family and Mary TODD married Abraham Lincoln........wait till Misti comes in and tells you who SHE is related to.......all I will say is, she spent a long time apologizing to me.....
