So someone else put those words in his mouth? he didn't mean what he said in his debate with Douglas? That argument holds no water at all. Contrary to popular belief, Lincoln was hell bent on crushing the southern states, believed in the inequality of the black race and was hated the Constitution. Anyone that spoke against him was thrown in prison without trial. I don't see how that qualifies him as a good president.

>>Generally attorneys will represent anyone regardless of the attorney's own beliefs. Advocating another person's freedom of speech is a bit different than advocating the right of another person to own humans as chattel. At least that is how my great-great grandfather (a Free Methodist and Colonel in the Union Army) saw it. But then, what did he know? He was just a dupe in helping Lincoln secure his second American Revolution. Ending slavery was just a means to an end for Lincoln.
