And that makes me sad

Yeah.

Just like Lincoln "got us through the Civil War."

And Wilson "got us through WWI."

I was seriously talking to a friend about those three a minute ago and that's EXACTLY what he said. Then accused me of giving in to anti-lincoln/wilson/FDR propaganda.

I was like,

isn't it pretty obvious that the pro-those3 is the propaganda since you even get it in public school?

no mention of "The Grange" no care

I would also mention that he probably got the bright idea of dueling and possibly dying because his son also got shot up on Weehawken as well with da same guns... made him a lil nutso

not a lot of talk about his death in your thing, the biggest source of contraversy!

are you SURE he wasted his shot?
