He's the greatest president this country could have hoped for and is largely responsible for the preservation of a young, regionally and culturally fractured union. Forging the identities of our several states into one nation underpinned this country's economic rise and ascension to great power status within a mere couple of decades of a ruinous war.

Reconstruction would have gone a lot better if that damn fool secessionist Booth hadn't murdered him

I'm trying to remember CWB's salient points during his rants. One that sticks out is 'confiscation of private property.' Apparently his ancestors fought for the South. They lost their land during reconstruction and it has never been returned.

He could say "That's not what America is about."
"That's not our values."
But then he would sound like Obama.
