Final answer:
Rachel Adams' views on 'Yankees' and Abraham Lincoln are not provided in the question, but the historical context suggests that 'Yankees' refers to Unionists against whom Southerners like the quoted colonel were opposed, and that Lincoln would be viewed negatively by Southern slaveholders.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question appears to concern views on the 'Yankees' and Abraham Lincoln during the time surrounding the Civil War. Unfortunately, without specific excerpts from Rachel Adams' Continental Divides: Remapping the Cultures of North America, it is difficult to provide an exact answer about what her statements are regarding the 'Yankees' or Lincoln. However, given the historical context, one could infer that the reference to 'Yankees' likely pertains to the Unionists or Northerners during the Civil War, who were generally opposed by Southerners like the colonel quoted. The term 'rascally abolitionists' indicates a negative view towards those who were working to abolish slavery. In this context, Abraham Lincoln, as the president who led the Union and ultimately issued the Emancipation Proclamation, would have been viewed unfavorably by Southern slaveholders.
