That is why one has to wonder if elements within his own government had him killed.

His death put the finishing touches to the North's desire for vengence.

Your view of the world is an obviously deep South one...

Friend, up until the last few years, even texts book written by pro-Lincoln scholars admitted that the Reconstruction Act was not in keeping with Lincoln's "Malice towards None" views on reconstruction and would never have been tolerated by him.

Furthermore these same texts books were very graphic in their description of the exploitation of the defeated South by carpertbagger types.

So his view is not the "deep south view".

I agree with you.
Lincoln's assassination changed how the South was treated, for the worse.

How is the west pushing Russia and what does that have to do with their annexation of Ukrainian territory?

You don't want Putin, you don't know what kindof devil Putin is.

sorry, quoting a mouthpiece like that one is hardly credible--you might at least seek an independent source. I agree, sadly, with MtD.

You might also google US bases in Europe and Asia, and view them on a map, to get some clue as to the scope here. Before you post anymore, wadr.
