[Grand Old Partisan]

Damn right! Thank God that President Lincoln did not let "a bunch of rabble rousing rebels destroy the greatest nation in the history of earth." At their core, neo-Confederates hate the United States of America, and so employ shoddy analysis nad bad logic to try and twist the patriotism of decent Americans into something vile.

Thank God that President Lincoln did not let "a bunch of rabble rousing rebels destroy the greatest nation in the history of earth."

Granted (no pun intended), that the preservation of the Union was the right outcome. But, without those rabble rousing rebels, their ancestors and their descendents America would never have been the greatest nation in the history of the earth.
