[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2631514, member: 26302"]You can't get too wrapped up in the supposed "insult". American history is full of such images, you should read how insulting books and newspapers were of who we know consider "founding fathers". Personally, I do not care for Lincoln believing the states were right and they were entitled to leave if they wished. Also, he violated more civil rights than any other president in pursuit of what he thought was right, (forced continuation of the union). Be it as it may my position of Lincoln versus the true founding fathers, (whom I respect a great deal), maybe a better solution would be to remove all dead politicians from coins and currency altogether.
