I used to hide Playboy mags in the barn but never a silent movie about Abe Lincoln. Ok, I had one video that included a tall chick in a black suit who ordered people around like slaves, but she just bore a slight resemblance to Abe.

Wonder how history and film at that time seen Lincoln----The glorious hero he is made out today---or the man that broke our constitutional law twice and suspended freedom,and didnt fight for slaves freedom but because he wanted more tax money from the south,they wouldnt pay it so they left union( which legally they could do) so then Lincoln used our army to invade a then soverign nation to force them to rejoin..Two constitutional laws broke at same time..Then he suspended freedom of speech and the press...NOT MUCH OF A NATIONAL HERO TO ME!!!!!

It's a little-known fact that Lincon and hitler were plotting to take over the world together.
