>I can think of some historical context. After the South was defeated, Lincoln preached reconciliation "with malice toward none, with charity toward all." Unfortunately, after his assassination, the Radical Republicans rose in power, and they advocated more punitive measures against the former Confederate states.

And they should have.

>I would side more with Lincoln than with the Radical Republicans of the Reconstruction era. Seems like modern-day Democrats would find a lot in common with the latter. That includes treating the Confederate flag as a form of "hate speech."

You gonna really tell me it wasn't? Do you know how much more popular it became in the '50s during desegregation?
