I'm sitting in the airport in Chicago waiting for my flight to get me one step closer to BR and decide to watch a documentary about Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg. As I'm watching the production it starts to become apparent that the whole show is geared to how the civil war was fought to end slavery and secondly to keep the union intack. I think they even said that in the show. One guy went so far as to say that the wording "four score and seven years ago our fathers brought fourth from this continent a new nation" was Lincoln going back to 1776 when the nation was created instead of going back to the date the constitution was written because the constitution endorses slavery. Is their any true historians on Bayou Shooters that can show me where the constitution endorses slavery? I think this is a blatant attemp at rewriting history for the new dumbed down generation. I don't doubt Lincoln wanted to end slavery but this was not why this war was fought. To preserve the nation as one was his number one priority all the other crap came second. I've been to Gettysburg and it's an amazing place. You can feel the history in this place. It will bring chills to you as you walk the battlefields.
