Today civil war in America is viewed as inconceivable unless there was a total economic meltdown triggering chaos in relation to an organized civil war by well armed seditionists.
Right now I believe there is a classic visible case of someone advocating sedition which is the left over hippy looking Colorado professor who called the victims of 9-11 'nazis', and he stated America 'deserves more 9-11's'. This creep should be tired for sedition since he favours the overthrow the United States government, coupled with additional acts of mass slaughter of American citizens through broad based Islamic terrorism!
The most that will probably happen to this despicable thing is the board of regents will publicly fire this rat bum, while [also] secretly setting him up with another position through contacts in leftist academia so he can brainwash additional gullible little twits.
Back to President Lincoln; I can not comprehend how one & a half terms of the 16th President from 1861 to 1865 can be blamed for the large majority of our present day problems are due to HIS action. President Lincoln brought an end to the Civil War, was attempting to heal the nation as a whole and if anything, he may have been far too lenient with Confederate insurrectionist leaders. The man's life was snuffed out, not allowing for his full place in history, as happened to President's Garfield, Kennedy & McKinley.
Anything pertaining to promoting or maintaining slavery, no matter the country or region is in no way honorable". If the Confederates had won the Civil War slavery would not have ended in 1863-1865. How can we justifiable blast the slavery being perpetrated by Islamic fanatics, or the slave style systems of communist North Korea, or the labour/slave camps of Red China, Soviet Russia & Nazi Germany, and not realize the same evil existed in our own nation prior to 1865?
When you state "We are the TRUE conservatives" I hope you are not excluding me simply because I differ on issues pertaining to the Civil War or old Abe?
