You didn’t answer the question. Quit acting like a railroad lawyer and give a direct answer.

PC crap at NOLA needs to be met with a 100% boycott on tourism, conventions, Mardi Gras. ETC. Let NOLA become Detroit.

We’re not like you cva - we don’t burden our souls with 150 year old grudges.

What are you talking about?
Of course I answered it, quite clearly.
I agree with Lincoln's choice of Johnson as VP, and Johnson's choice of pardons for all Confederate leaders.

What I disagree with is Lost-Causers using the Lincoln-Johnson pardons as arguments for "innocence" or "no crimes committed".
In any other country those leaders would have been shot or hanged, but that is not the American way.
But they were pardoned for their crimes, not their innocence.
