So lemme get this straight. Descendents of southerners who lived through the invasion need to get over it but descendents of blacks and Indians don't?

Never mind that Virginians "laid waste " to the lives, homes, and lands of the Native Americans. That was OK. But for Lincoln to respond to the attack of the southern terrorists, was certainly indecent of him. He should have just let those terrorists have their way, as they did in the countryside of Pennsylvania.

Virginia lawmakers killed legislation today that would have made Virginia part of the national commemoration of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday. . . . Robert Lamb of Richmond, a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, told the committee that Lincoln ... quote ... "sent armies into Virginia to lay waste to our land." *** I guess "with malice toward none" doesn't cut it any longer. Do I hear anyone saying "Get over it"?
