"Lincoln died the next day, without gaining consciousness, and with him died the only protector of the prostrate South. Others might try to emulate his magnanimity; none but he could control the bitter hatreds which were rife. The assassin’s bullet had wrought more evil to the United States than all of the Confederate cannonade…[T]he death of Lincoln deprived the union of the guiding hand which alone could have solved the problems of reconstruction and added to the triumph of armies those lasting victories which are gained over the hearts of men."

Yes, Lincoln was the South's best friend.

Nearly all Southerners know that today. They love Lincoln. They love that he freed the slaves. They love that he freed the slaveholders from their culture of dependency. And, most of all, they love that he preserved the integrity of the greatest nation in history.

There isn't any group of people more patriotic than the people of the South. They love the USA.

We're all so lucky to be here together. It's like Sarah Palin says, "One nation, under God, indivisible."

And, it's going to stay that way!!
