Hoover was no doubt progressive for his time. (However , the stock figures of Jewish peddler and docile, servile Black man were my lone objections to the book, which was otherwise very enjoyable to read) <br /><br />Question: Can you give me the title of the book you reference that gives the real names and places behind Hoover's thinly veiled "fiction"?

He was a Democrat that Lincoln selected as his running mate in hopes of bring some cooperation between parties, but the Republicans resented him and the Democrats saw him as a traitor to the party. Johnson had little support, but he did try to carry out Lincoln's goals after the War. Interesting history.

He would have been borderline old enough.<br />Considering the current state of affairs, the union states today would have been far better off to have let them go. Most of the Know-nothing Far right religious Republicanism appears to be driven by bigoted racist white southerners who have never admitted defeat. Lincoln was able to win the war but was not there to win the peace. The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.com
