I think you Neo-Confederates need to follow the example of the Confederate prisoner of war who listened to Lincoln's Gettysburg address, and later wrote to his mother: "WE HAVE GOT TO STOP HATING THIS MAN!"
Ask stand waite or any of these other sothron types to stop hating Lincoln or Yankees? You might as well ask them to stop breathing.
there are, otoh,MANY THOUSANDS of PALEO-Confederates, who will never forget what a creep lincoln demonstrably was. AND we still are struggling for the TRUTH to be told about the war & our ancestor's struggle for LIBERTY!
we'll quit talking about him in that fashion, when the damnedyankees start looking at him ONLY as a CHEAP, SCHEMING politician, not any different that wee wille klintoon, rather than a saint!
