Talk:People (Two Americas)

Changes to Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson
In response to your note on the talk page, I am going to put the tentative changes to the thumbnail sketches of the two here. I will work on the details at the talk page of the Abraham Lincoln article. SouthWriter 17:24, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

was the last president of the united nation founded by Virginians and New England patriots. Events leading to his election as president had caused political descent in the states which resulted in an official secession of several southern states. Reacting to this as an act of rebellion, Lincoln had asked for and got a declaration of war. Failing to secure the loyalty of Virginia, the remaining United States were locked in a war that lasted for most of his two terms. After a propaganda campaign to defeat a popular General in the 1864, he was to live in seclusion for fear of Confederate assassins rumored to be in the Washington. After the resignation of his "southern" vice president in June of 1965, he saw the CSA hold its boundaries secure and sue for armitice after his failed attempt at "slash and burn" to the farmland of the deep south.

I'm headed out. I'll be researching Lincoln's proposed date of death later. Also, Johnson's resignation will leave me in a quandary - is he US or CS? SouthWriter 17:24, November 25, 2010 (UTC)
