>>4 Abe is remembered for preventing the split of the United States. It's like, everyone glosses over how he abolished slavery as well. Yes, the war was initially about keeping the states together, but the Southern states clearly addressed that they were seceding because of their "rights" to own slaves and do whatever they want with their slaves, was slowly being taken away.
Down South there are still people proudly waving the confederate flag. Fuckin idiots don't care that it's the same as seeing the Rising Sun flag in China or S. Korea.
Basically, whenever you see those flags, best to avoid that shop or home if you're black. Land of easy gun ownership after all. If you fire warning shots in the air in defense against an abusive spouse you get 20 years, but if you chase a teen down and kill him, you're never charged. The system needs fixing.
