#2 Elbow grease, I think. This had no color of course, everyone toiled.

#3 Czech-African hair fashionista
Assesses historical vista
And weaves up a scheme
That will leave her supreme
As Nkechi Diallo's Big Sista.

#5 Erm, maybe swap first and last lines. Also, I'll bite: British Crown and King of Kings?

#8 It was founded on principles of Western Civilization. Today's 'intellectuals' pursue the destruction of the language by labeling anything that is Western Civ as 'White Supremacy'. Strange, however, they never seem to leave for Chinese, Indian, et al alternate based societies.

#9 So I guess Lincoln was just pulling Mrs. Bixby's leg:

Executive Mansion,
Washington, Nov. 21, 1864.

Dear Madam,

I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

A. Lincoln

#10 Well, think of all the lives that would have been saved if the Civil War had never been fought...

#11 America was founded on the British Royals are bogus. Looking at the modern royals the opinion is still pretty defensible.
