    Eh? This is the first I've heard of that.

    It's not in the States' best interests to have Quebec as an independent country.

      he should have let the south go. the united states as a whole would be better off without them.

        Have you read Harry Turtledove novels in which he wrote about what World War I would be like if CSA was allowed to become an independent country.

          That's because this is some where around his 200th birthday.

            But there is no question that he was a log cabin republican and a railsplitter.

            But he touched it too much!

              Lincoln had major impact on US, that's for sure.

              Now, his only goal was to maintain the Union. I do recognize this as a merit. But I don't see how it makes him one of the "greatest" president.
              As it was pointed out, he didn't care that much about slavery, and if it could keep the Union together, he would not have abolished it.

              He seems to me as quite an opportunistic. I have some respect for him, but no more.

                On topic:

                While subject to revisionism and reverential treatment, Abe Lincoln was one of the good ones.

                Damn, we need his calibre of leader today.

                  We get to expand our territory without firing a shot.

                    Ugh, I wouldn't want the States to absorb Quebec if that's what you mean. I'd prefer Canada to deal with those guys instead of the States. Americans don't need that kind of political and social headache.

                      It isn't. There are other provinces besides Quebec. Alberta is quite rich in oil.

                        In that case if citizens of those provinces truly want to join and can agree to the American system, that's fine. But not Quebec.

                          Cajuns are the closest we'll ever get to letting French people in.
