Are there any landmarks honoring Abraham Lincoln in the Confederate south?

Country and western, you mean?

Are there any monuments to General Sherman in the South?

No, but it’s not uncommon to carry a portrait of General Grant in one’s wallet. :smiley:

Well, there is at least one that recognizes his good works. Its nice to be recognized for ones achievements I always say. Personally I’d draw the line at Boll Weevils myself. But seriously, I won’t be surprised if there was some monument to him somewhere. My google fu is weak today.

That’s interesting. I lived in the erstwhile Cassville for a year or so as a kid. Didn’t remember that monument.

And I’d agree that Lincoln was never loathed in the South (at least not after the war) in the same way Sherman was. Speaking of Cassville, when I lived there I remember having to memorize the Gettysburg Address for school. (3rd grade, Cass Elementary)

This is what I was wondering about. It’s remarkable; I’d think there would be more negative feelings, all things considered.

John Wilkes Booth seemed a little bitter.

I don’t remember where I read it, but somebody somewhere on the Internet had a great joke involving a monument to Sherman. It was an eternal flame shaped like the state of Georgia.
