Lincoln ended slavery and they voted him the worst?  :huh:

He caused the Civil War.   :mad:

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Slavery was a form of trade.  Besides lots of Libertarians are southern sympathizers.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It was the only way to properly get infrastructure off the ground.  Either that or find something else to tax.

At any rate, these people are the sort of fetishists who worship the original US constitution and Bill of Rights, and think that the US founding fathers were good and clever men, rather than wretched traitors.

Unless said founding father was a federalist.

I wish I had time to google for that article... it mentioned Louisiana being formerly the worst IIRC, but said it's been cleaning up its act drastically over the past decade.
