It's about Lincoln. You have a whole host of conservatives who buy into the Lincoln myth. That believes the US was founded as a melting pot. They believe Lincoln made a true America by conquering the South and installing a strong central government, and then he was martyred before he could take full control. They will refer to Lincoln as a founding father, and in the same breath as Washington or Jefferson.
