Evidently the teaching of modern mythology is alive and well here in our fine
State!  :o)

The 13th-15th Amendments, not the EP should be the real turning points.  The
way the radical republican and abolutinist used their opportunities well and
pushed their agenda should be held up.

Lincoln is glorified due to martyr complex.  His fine memorials and wonderous
things to visit and his does indeed have admirable qualities, but his school
text book personifications are a real dumbing down to a incredible intersting
portion of American History.
