Six years after his 1881 speech to the Mississippi legislature, in 1887, Jefferson Davis called for an end to rancor and bitter sectional feeling and for a reunited country:

"The past is dead; let it bury its dead, its hopes, and its aspirations. Before you lies the future, a future full of golden promise, a future of expanding national glory, before which all the world shall stand amazed. Let me beseech you to lay aside all rancor, all bitter sectional feeling, and to take your places in the ranks of those who will bring about a consummation to be wished—a reunited country." - Jefferson Davis (1887)

Just as Lincoln and Davis predicted, the country reunited - "One nation, under God, indivisible."

And, slavery is gone - gone for good!
