I agree with him. It was ‘Lincoln’s War’, or, as I like to say, ‘The War of The North’. The biggest mistake made was S.C. firing on Ft. Sumter. If the South had merely turned their back on the North, made their own way and minded their own business, the North would NEVER would have had the support to invade ‘a foreign nation’.

And the North would have made military & trade agreements (esp. for Southern cotton) instead.

The biggest bloody stain in all of this was evil of slavery. I doubt the South would have disbanded that blight upon humanity without that horrid war.

But Lincoln didn’t go to war to free slaves. It was to preserve ‘The Union’. He said as much many times. What’s more odd is the hypocrisy in it all – Robt. Lee detested slavery, and G. McClellan was a white supremacist.

Besides, that’s ancient history. A more recent and destructive gutting of State’s power and rights was the 17th amendment.

More to the point the ratification of the Constitution required that three states have their right to leave the union guaranteed as part of the ratification process. Have acknowledged this right lINCOLN’S ACTIONS ARE NOTHING SHORT OF THE WORST FORM OF TRYANNY.

Try studying history and you’ll find those who are the worst criminals seek to rewrite history. The Left never stops.

As the great Gen. Robert E. Lee said “If I had believed this war was about slavery, I would have switched sides yesterday”.

But it is funny how they deal with “Democrats” when it comes to the south. It’s really sickening to say the least. The media will say “it’s their heritage” but if it’s a “Republican” he/she is a racist.

But then again, they are all in bed together. The media, the politicians, the whole thing.
