<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3353290, member: 92655"]Oh yes. Along the same lines.... I once took visiting family to the South Carolina State house. It is a beautiful and historic building. There are craters on the west wall where General Sherman’s cannon balls impacted the structure...... Leading my family through the senate chambers we were admiring the presidential portraits that lined the walls around the chamber. First time I had noticed that one President was missing! It was Mister Lincoln. In the same moment it also occurred to me that the cannon ball craters on the side of this historic building were also Mister Lincoln’s. Perhaps why his portrait is not on the chamber walls! It was only a short 150 years ago that terrible scar burned across our nation born of political idealization..... I decided then that political issues would never polarize me or my coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
