Let us never forget we are here because Lincoln welcomed the South back to the fold without due punishment for the treasonous and allowed them to elect their own representation, all in the name of avoiding "further division."

Every major ill this country has suffered from Jim Crow through the Business Plot, all stems from that weakness. 

Maybe this time, after we've picked our belongings from the smoking wreckage, we'll have learned better.

Honest to fucking everything, I consider this one of the worst mistakes in their county's history.

In all honesty, they screw up every time they do these actions because: "the country needs to heal," another example is Ford pardoning Nixon.

Seriously, you don't leave rotting flesh attached because "the body needs to heal"

You cut the rot out, and let what's leftover heal from there.
