[quote:yeswecan:MV8xNzgxMDIwXzI5NTkxOTY5XzJCMTkyRUMx] [quote:yeswecan:MV8xNzgxMDIwXzI5NTkxOTMxXzU4QjU1MkI2] I realize the war was about states rights, but where do you draw the line? What if states rights included pedophiles? As far as blacks not being able to assimilate, looks like he was right about that too. [/quote] Why do you think we have black history month? [/quote]
Original Message
"In 1831 Lincoln left home at age 22 to strike out on his own in the struggling frontier town of New Salem, Illinois. He had no trade and few prospects. The single most striking fact about him as a young man is his genius for friendship. As one of his New Salem contemporaries recalled (as recorded in the interview notes of William Herndon quoted by David Herbert Donald), “Lincoln had nothing[,] only plenty of friends.” He was obviously one of the most likable men who ever lived, a man who radiated decency. Moreover, the better his acquaintances got to know him, the more they liked him. Those who got to know him best, such as the acquaintances with whom he shared boarding rooms as an impoverished young man, became lifelong friends. The student of Lincoln who can see him through the eyes of these friends will have a similar experience."
