"He died a proponent of it, period."

Lincoln died a martyr to freedom. And to be remembered as the President who saved the nation and freed the slaves.

The south just died. Period.

Lincoln died a martyr to freedom.

Nobody's interested in your gushy lowbrow panegyrics, capitan. We are interested in the facts about Lincoln's beliefs though and one of those is the fact that he died a racist colonizer.

The south just died. Period.

Not really. The South is still the fountainhead of popular culture, the soul of the country, and the home of NASCAR racing. And the old Battle Flag is instantaneously recognized around the world, as the flag of the South.

Amen.

The South died, but the United States was reborn.
