quote: You're from the South, and you have to ask this question? He started a war that resulted in the deaths of over 600,000 Americans. He is solely responsible for the Federal government gaining the power to subjugate the states. Suspended habeas corpus. He pissed, shit, and vomited on the Constitution at every turn. Do you need more? Absolutely, without question, the worst president America has ever had. Jackson comes a close second. The fact that either of those men have their pictures on our currency is a travesty. This post was edited on 5/15 at 1:41 pm Reply Back to Top |

After their assassinations the two presidents return from the dead to save the country from an allegiance of vampires and werewolves. Hugh Jackman to play McKinley. Kate Beckinsale costars.

quote: Well, in deference to your ethnicity, I can understand why you might believe the myth of Honest Abe rather than reality. The truth is he was a politician who used the black people as a tool to get re-elected. quote: quote: He was a tyrant. John Wilkes Booth did the nation a favor. There's no telling what that man would have done... Reply Back to Top |

quote: You can argue that his election was the direct cause of secession but those idiots in South Carolina fired the first shot. There was a chance at a non-violent standoff and an eventual peaceful resolution until Sumter. In other words, I blame it on Spurrier. Reply Back to Top |
| If I'm not mistaken, 7 states peacefully seceded under Buchanan. When Lincoln was elected, he began to raise the Union military in force. 4 more states seceded as a direct result of what they saw as tyranny. This led to an escalation on hostilities, and any hope of a peaceful resolution was obliterated. But hey, this is a movie board and not a history board. Reply Back to Top |
| Read the book. Enjoyed it a lot. Very dark. Reply Back to Top |
