Without the concept of natural law, there are no God given individual rights, only those that the gov't allows.

Sounds unusually Lincolnian. Too bad Jaffa and Krannawitter never figured that out. Instead they prefer to be walking contradictions who tout "natural law" and tyranny at the same time.

It was Lincolnian.

No, they see 'natural law'as referring to the right to revolt when tryanny can not be avoided otherwise.

The South were not in that position.

Ofcourse, the slaves were in that position so I am sure that you and the rest of the neo-confederates advocating the Souths'right to rebel would grant the slaves right to do so also?
