Take it up with freeper LS, and with the Libertrian Miles Inatitute. “Facts are stubborn things.” John Adams.

The Ludwig von Mises Institute has repeatedly outlined how tyrannical Lincoln was. You might want to check who the current head of the Von Mises institute is.

All that may be true, but they point out that the Conf3deracy was Socalist, and tyrannical.

FLT-bird: "The Ludwig von Mises Institute has repeatedly outlined how tyrannical Lincoln was."

Anybody can call somebody a "tyrant" because the word is meaningless without context.
In this particular case, the context question is whether Lincoln was any more "tyrannical" than Jefferson Davis?

Every account I've read says that, relative to populations, Jefferson Davis:

1. Arrested as many Union loyalists as Lincoln arrested Copperhead Democrats.

2. Forced just as many unwilling Southerners to serve in the Confederate army as the Union drafted for its armies.

3. Confiscated as much Confederate property as Lincoln confiscated Union property.

4. Imposed as many arbitrary laws on Confederates as Lincoln did on the Union.

5. Micro-managed the war itself as his own Commander in Chief and Chief of Staff, issuing orders regardless of states rights or human rights.

The "Solid South" was anything but "solid" in its votes for secession.
Jefferson Davis used whatever forces necessary to compel obedience from pro-Union regions.
