They want kids to think Lincoln was great...you can teach 16 or 17 year old high school student the truth....but by-in-large they do not.

sure.
but i mean... i don't see how it's going to make any sense whatsoever to children.
"Oh yeah, he freed the slaves, but the slaves in the states he had control over, who were already free as it turns out. So he actually didn't do much of anything."
i mean... how is a child going to comprehend that? and how can you even try to explain politics to a child? more so... WHY would you explain politics to a child?

WHY would you explain politics to a child? no. you simply dont tell them anything about him freeing anyone...because he didnt. he freed no one..so why bring it up? ya know? Just dont ever mention it, because its not worth mentioning. when you get to the upper levels of age...THEN you can start teaching about the Emancipation Proclamation and how it was a farce and all that.

Lincoln had Marfan's Syndrome, which explains his tall, lanky, Skeletor physique
------------- Marfan syndrome is an inherited connective tissue disorder that can affect the heart, blood vessels, lungs, eyes, bones and ligaments.
Affected individuals often are tall, slender and loose-jointed. Arms and legs may be unusually long in proportion to the torso. Feet often are flat. The spine may be curved (scoliosis), and the breastbone may protrude or look caved in. The face may be long and narrow, with a high roof of the mouth and crowded teeth.
The most serious problem associated with Marfan syndrome is weakness of the aorta (the body’s largest artery), which affects most individuals with Marfan syndrome to some degree. Blood pumped from the heart passes forcefully and directly into the aorta, which branches out to carry oxygen-rich blood to the entire body. As the walls of the aorta gradually weaken, (aortic dilation) they can split in places, allowing blood to leak into the chest, abdomen or wall of the aorta itself. Sudden, large splits can result in death. -----------------
