@Иван question for you because you are Russian, can you understand Bulgarian or Ukrainian or some of the other Slavic languages, I've always wondered how well that region of the world understands each other speaking their native languages.
I'll say it again though I've said it before, Abraham Lincoln didn't care about the slaves, he cared about centralizing power in the federal government and reducing state rights.
One think I really don't like about the modern world is the lack of ability to forgive people for mistakes. Most people don't seem to be able to do that. Forgive people, doesn't mean you have to fully trust them anymore especially if they hurt you or others, you can forgive and stay away from them but forgiveness should be more common.
