I hope someone comes along some day and tells her The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1900 by a defrocked socialist minister who was trying to sell flags. Maybe by then those football players will stand for the Star Spangled Banner. And the ones down South will stand once again for Dixie.

I checked several sources and they said Lincoln never owned slaves.  He didn't live a in a slave state.

You're probably right that Lincoln did not own slaves. 

If I recall, his state Illinois did not allow blacks to live there.

Slavery was a big mistake, however slavery was already in place when this country was formed. 

Nowadays, we have the huge problem with socialism which is enslaving all Americans and people worldwide.
