Other than destroying the republic, states rights and killing 6000,000 in the process, I have no problem with the man.

You certainly have a deceived version of history in your head!

Abraham Lincoln did everything in his might to keep the Union, the Republic, together! And he succeeded!

How is it a state right to be allowed to succeed from the Union?

The Civil War was never about states rights, it was about a rebellion trying to keep slavery!

A republic held together at the point of a gun isn't much of a republic.

The USC is totally silent on secession. If you read what was written at the time, any no out clause for the states would have made the USC DOA, and would have never been ratified by the states. There are some misguided fools around here that would argue the opposite is true, I am not buying though.

Secession is not an act of war, only a fascist war pig and statist piece of crap jerkface would think that way. Not that you would think like that :)
