Actually, he was.

The states had a right to secede.

The states had a right to secede.

They did not have the right to fire the first shot or to seize federal property.

Lincoln was wrong on the point of the states having the right to secede. They still do. If the “geniuses” in BrainWashington go too far, I'll be moving along with millions of others to the states that don't want the Soviet style regime (oh, look I said regime, boycott me now Lefties)promoted by the humorless 3 stooges-Pelosi, Obama, and Reid.

Lincoln only won and had the support of the people because slavery was such a horrible thing.

If not for slavery the South should have won. States still have rights!
