I’m laughing at reading everybody’s responses and okay I get the irony. But I still think he would’ve said it because the larger point remains. Transformations created at the ballot box are more profound for a society in the long run than is the assassination of any one person.

Lincoln didn’t bring violence upon America. They were in talks about the south rejoining the union. If you want to blame someone for the war blame the 2 guards at Ft. Sumter who were drunk on duty and fired a cannon at the union troops.

"A Tad ironic" is pretty darn ironic in itself.
