Why no statues or memorials of abraham lincoln in the south? (how much, bill)

[Nico's the Man!]

He held the country together at his darkest hour yet they dont acknowledge him why?

Maybe because the South didn't want the country held together? Duh?

But Southerners always talk about America and how much they love it? So Im confused.. Why not honor Lincoln?
