Stan you apparently took a far different take on my post than I intended...What I was trying to say was that Lincoln EP had about the same authority in the Confederacy as Roosevelts would have had in Nazi Germany.,..a worthless piece of paper...free the slaves where you have no authority and not free them where you do have the authority.

"Father Abraham" was a phoney and about as truthful as a used car salesman. Now thats just one old Rebs view.
