“A statue of Davis stands alongside former President Abraham Lincoln—his Civil War adversary”

As a symbol of f***ing reconciliation, you frigging son of a Mitch! Kentucky stayed with the Union and had zero reason to ever have the stature there if it was really that horrid.

Having driven most of the Democratic power centers out of the “Solid South”, the Republican Party now seems ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Not meaning to argue since your intentions seem sincere and righteous but nearly 50,000 Kentuckians fought for Dixie

A number are buried at McGavock cemetery about one mile north northeast of my little 10 acres

But their govt then was out of touch with their constituents then same as now

Guess what percentage of the vote Lincoln received in 1860 there?

Less than one percent
