Thank you for putting all that together.

Republic's Slide toward Civil War Continues.. civil war is more accurate than revolution IMO.

I have posted comments by Lincoln as the Nation approached civil war over many reasons with slavery vs. free states one of them.

It is so easy to just change Abe's remarks to statism vs. Freedom and apply it to today. What will be the nature of our crisis that must the reached and passed before we can fix the problem of two Americas? I wonder.

You're welcome. Thanks for reading.

I am a whole lot more critical of Lincoln than I used to be, but then, most of the tyranny resulting from the Civil War came in Reconstruction, after he had been assassinated. Still, I think the Union victory tempted Abe--and he gave in-- to big government.
