150th anniversary of the end of the US Civil War

Intentionally so. Speaking seriously for a moment, I really do support an independent South and the destruction of the GS. Daily reminder that Lincoln was more racist than the first grand dragon of the KKK.

Also, Deo Vindice means "God will vindicate us." Look it up, heathens.

Lincoln was born in 1809. Of course he was racist by today's standards. Literally every person in the world in 1850 was racist at least to some degree--welcome to the 19th century. That doesn't make him a bad person, because he was markedly less racist than the majority of his contemporaries, and became more so over time--you're trumpeting the fact that he didn't call for an end to all slavery for his first election and ignoring the fact that he did exactly that for his second. Your suggestion that the man who issued the Emancipation Proclamation was more racist than a slave owner who massacred African prisoners of war is... I guess I'll go with 'silly', for lack of a better term. That Forrest backed off from some of his opinions in his later years makes absolutely no difference to this stupid, stupid claim.

If it doesn't work for Forrest, it doesn't work for Lincoln(sbuh). Up until he was killed by John Wilkes Booth(pbuh) he was trying to deport slaves back to Africa(that's why Liberia exists) and Forrest supported racial cooperation. History is written by the victor.

You seem upset it's not written by the edgelords that come centuries later doing their best to be contrary.
