Every problem that we endure now with a powerful centralized government was spawned by Lincoln.

I used to ask for and receive invitations to sit in, as an adult, on College classes at a couple of the country's top schools. One such class was a three hour class on the Politics of the Civil War at an Ivy. The professor is and was an author of a book on the topic I had on my shelf. I was invited to participate. I sat in the middle of a horseshoe, seven students to my left, seven to my right.

Long story short, is that I made a LOT of comments during this class. One was that Lincoln destroyed the Constitution bequeathed to us by Madison & Co. After the class, I spoke with the professor for about 20 minutes more. He told me that he could never say the things I did and retain his position and reputation, tenure notwithstanding. I think his strongest disagreement was with my comment about Lincoln. "He had help," the professor said.

If by that you mean the 13th, 14th & 15th amendments, then obviously, guilty as charged.
But if you refer to Lincoln's secret instructions to FDR, LBJ and BHO on how to destroy the United States from within, then you & DiogenesLamp are just fantasizing to suit your own perverse desires, nothing to do with historical reality.
