Those arguments are usually posted out of ignorance of history and, in a lot of cases, a hatred of Southerners.

I don't see anything wrong with the sentiment in the posted article about honoring brave Confederate soldiers and the mention of past promotions of reconciliation between the two formerly enemy sections.

But it's hard to hold back from responding in kind when you read the great Republican hero Abraham Lincoln denigrated. If this thread goes 4000 posts, that will have something to do with.

As a Southerner, I believe that Abraham Lincoln and his victory in the Civil War was the greatest thing that ever happened top Dixie. But that does not make me believe that there is anything wrong about the SCV honoring those brave soldiers.

Lincoln had it right about malice to none, charity to all.
