I've been re-watching Ken Burns' series "The Civil War", and came to the realization that the South must have felt about Abraham Lincoln much as Marxist/Socialist/Communists do about Donald Trump.
Did Southerners quietly, or even exuberantly, celebrate the death of the man most people feel may have been the best President our country has ever had?
I am surprised at the number of conservative bloggers who revile Lincoln as the end of the Republic. Habeas Corpus suspension and all that.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a good answer, and I've never really heard either way...
