Lincoln just may have been able to pull off a more temperate reconciliation had he not died; but one will never know. This state of permanent sectionalism remained in place until it flared up again with the civil rights movement and manifests itself today with the NeoConfederate and anti-Lincoln Liberutopianism. Both are the proud parents of the Tenthers.

I'll cite this blog in my efforts, just offering a painting emphasizing different details.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17919570940696184075noreply@blogger.com
