The Real Lincoln?

What Southerners Learned of Lincoln

"Mr. Lincoln advocated boldly and clearly a war of section, a war of the North against the slave States--a war of extermination to be continued relentlessly until the one or the other shall be subdued, and all the States shall either become free or become slave."

--Stephan A. Douglas, Democratic Presidential Candidate, 9 July 1858, Chicago, IL

"You learned half the story in public school, now its time to learn the other half."

Missouri 1861: Either a person was loyal to the elected State Government of Gov. Claiborne F. Jackson or they were loyal to the Federal authorities. Either side could be considered in rebellion to one level of government or another. Neutrality, dearly desired by most Missourians was nearly impossible as the historical record testifies...
