Brilliant reply!
Why don’t “unionist” freepers understand this? Instead, they want to continue to push southerners’ faces in the mud? I don’t get it.
I recently visited Andrew Johnson’s home in TN and was amazed at how conciliatory he was towards the south. He was following Lincoln’s ideals.
While Johnson might have shared Lincoln's conciliatory attitude toward the South, he didn't share Lincoln's political leadership. Unfortunately, for the South and the newly-reunited country, Johnson wasn't able to control the wing of the Republican Party who wanted to punish the South. Lincoln probably could have kept them under control.
