Defending the South about slavery is harldy a winning prospect. Not in the 19th Century. Not in the 20th Century. Not in the 21th Century. The thing about rights is, respecting them when they belong to someone else, respecting them when you don't like them and they're inconvenient to your purposes, and respecting them when they belong to someone you don't like.

Who was disrespecting the South's rights?

Did Lincoln threaten them?

He went out of his way in his Inaugural address to tell the South they had nothing to fear from his administration.

All laws would be upheld.

So by what right did the South, having lost an election, think it could just disband the Union?

[stand watie]

are you REALLY dumb enough to believe ANYTHING lincoln said?

did you also believe the NONSENSE, EVASIONS & LIES of wee willie klintoon?

lincoln & klintoon were the same sort of "leader".

BOTH would do/say ANYTHING to get ahead.

BOTH were nothing more or less than cheap,scheming shyster lawyers & politicians.

NEITHER could/SHOULD be trusted with telling the truth OR with our/your/anybody's freedom.
