<p>[QUOTE=&quot;whopper64, post: 4579720, member: 101364&quot;]364,000+ American soldiers lost their lives in the Civil War, and almost as many traitors.&nbsp; Taking an oath to defend the Constitution is not to be taken lightly, and all should have been hanged for having caused those American deaths.&nbsp; That being said, if Lincoln had not been assassinated, reconstruction would never have taken place, thus the KKK may not have been so prevalent and open, although &quot;jim crow&quot; no doubt would have.&nbsp; Statues to traitors should not be tolerated.&nbsp; Coins and books are the place to showcase the traitors, not statues &quot;honoring&quot; their service against the United States.&nbsp; Most, if not all, confederate leaders strongly believed that slaves were property, not human beings.&nbsp; That was their reasoning to exclude all African-Americans, even those born in the United States, from protection of the Constitution.&nbsp; History revisionists may claim that the Confederacy and the Civil War was fought for &quot;states rights&quot;, but the keystone of those &quot;states rights&quot; was the right to maintain slavery.&nbsp; Getting back to the coins, those are fine examples of history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
