Kept many important documents in his hat. . . Wow that's smart!

He didn't "save" the union, the Union was against slavery. What he did was bring or try really hard to bring the confederates and the union back together... and abolish slavery. He didn't blame anyone but said that it was an issue that we need to figure out. Jackson, I think was the president after Lincoln was assassinated, and he too, helped bring the Union and the confederates together, but he was a pussy and the war was essentially over by that point anyway... Lincoln was the end of the war and Jackson just picked up where Lincoln left off, readmitting the defeated confederates to the Union.

Lincoln last words were something along the lines of "I don't give a fuck what other people think" when his woman said "What are other people going to think about us holding hands in public?" when they were in the booth @ the theater... that's awesome alone.

Lincoln was a bad ass, and even though he was somewhat religious he understood the separation of church and state. He mentions god in some of his speeches, but doesn't use it to anyone's advantage. That too is bad ass.

haha!!!!

Comic relief!

I think our common enemy are terrorists but..... whatever.

You should be glad that we went to war when we did and has lasted as long as it has. We should be out of Iraq before you're 18 or 19.

We normally go to war about every 10 years. So, when the war ends, we'll have about 10 years of peace. This means that you should be able to join the armed forces, serve your country, get money and benefits for doing it (like getting paid to go to college after your tour is up, full health and dental, etc.) and be relatively safe. Just get out before the shooting starts.

Or you can work and put yourself through college that way. But this way is harder. If the military pays for your college, you don't have to work while going to school. So you can focus on school.
