Mongo, Not dealing with the SOUTH in a harsher manner just led to the same old shit only now done differently... I don't know where you get this version of history from, because it doesn't match up with what I learned. Lincoln was always and forever concerned about the state of our sacred union. That's why, even after the bloodiest war ever fought in American history (a record that, thank God, has yet to be broken), Lincoln pursue a path toward reconciliation. "With malice toward none, with charity toward all." Then came Booth, who thought he was serving the South but ended up doing the South a huge disservice. Dumbass. After that, the Radical Republicans took over under Andrew Johnson. They took a more hard-line stance against the South, even more than Johnson wanted. It got to the point where Johnson was impeached and almost removed from office (it failed by a single vote). History will debate over how the South was treated during the post-Civil War Reconstruction era, but it's hard to imagine how anyone at the time could have been even harsher on the former Confederate states than the Radical Republicans. Of course, that's not going to stop the left-wing revisionists who think they can apply postmodern standards of morality to the political realities of the late 19th century. Tenchusatsu
