Abraham Lincoln Got Justice ?

One hundred and 158 years ago on April 15, 1865 -IRS tax day- Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth at Ford Theater. Abe was enjoying a stage play while parts of the North and South still smoked and not all the casualities had been buried yet. He has been termed the last casualty of the Civil War. He was killed for his convictions. His convictions contributed to the approximate deaths of 700,000 other deaths. Not mentioned much is the total devestation to much of the South or the damage to the truly innocent flora and fauna that we take for granted but is much more enjoyable than people. Lincoln's convictions were either political or moral or a combination of both. But the toll of death and damage to everything was not worth it. Did Lincoln deserved to die like he made others die who were not so eager to die but were ordered to die if necessary for a Lincoln vanity.

Abraham DID get what he deserved. He caused my grandfather to be killed at age 26 , fighting in a war that should have NEVER been ! To all you dummies out there that don't know your history, NOT all whites owned slaves. My family didn't .
Abraham should have just declared slaves free, then go to the homes that had them, gather the slaves up , then send them back to their Africa since they miss it enough to want to be affiliated with it.
That is how it should have been handled. But no, ole honest Abe thought it better to see over 600,000 people die . I hope he's in hell right now.
