I was reading that Li...An apology means nothing. <br /><br />I was reading that Lincoln only freed the slaves to punish the South for seceeding from the union.

Since when does an apology come with a disclaimer anyway? What a joke!<br /><br />And did the president even acknowledge the apology? Does it even matter?vincentlopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843404269738789974noreply@blogger.com
