Speaking of Lincoln, in regards to the statues of Confederate 'Heroes'... I think it's important to remember that Lincoln wanted a clean reconciliation. Keep in mind that while General Stonewall Jackson did indeed sign the surrender papers, he was also rendered full military honors immediately afterwards by the Union soldiers.
While we didn't really get that reconciliation, I feel it's still important to remember what Honest Abe had intended. There likely would have been statues of General Jackson... only probably standing side by side with General Grant as though overseeing a rebuilding effort.
