In reply to Richard Willmer. Slavery is a Red Herring. This about the right to peoplehood.

In reply to TJ.

But there is a problem with clinging to ‘family / cultural / etc ties’ (however much we might – rightly or wrongly – value them). See Luke 14 : 25 – 27 (or other similar sayings).
Failure to move beyond one’s ‘comfort zone’ compromises one’s humanity. People who stick only to what they know often become complacent, pinched and mean.
(BTW, I fail to see how you have answered Carol’s point on slavery, ‘T J’.)

In reply to Carol A Ranney. And rotting along with the rest of the country due to disfunctional egalitarianism. Noone is literally equal, whether individuals or groups. Multiculturalism does not work so why does this government insist on tormenting everyone with it. You literally have to deny and give up your family ties, linguistic ties, religious/spiritual ties, cultural ties, and shared heritage... everything that makes a person human. Communists may love to wallow in degrading humanity in such ways, but normal people resist.

And of course the French revolution came 10 years after the American version. And the influence was the other way round. French leaders were inspired by the actions of the new nation. And PS. The American revolution was mostly fought by the French navy and marines. It bankrupted the monarchy and was a direct cause of the French revolution of 1789-1799.
The absolute ignorance is breathtaking.

I don’t understand why Lincoln’s view should be dubbed the “American view”. Was Robert Lee less American than Lincoln?
And if Lincoln really thought that Southerners were created equal to Yankees, shouldn’t that have stopped him to kill Southerners? (Perhaps not. He had no problem with killing Yankees either, when he felt it was necessary.)
In any way, the term “proposition nation” wasn’t invented by Lincoln, but by 20th century immigrants which promoted their own agenda (at the cost of the natives).
