I understand Lincoln didn't give a tinker's doodle for the Constitution. Ends, Means, You Know. He didn't HAVE to HAVE that war. For some reason, he seemed to WANT that war.

[stand watie]

lincoln wanted WAR because it was POPULAR with the ELITISTS of the northeast that controlled the RAILROADS, the MILLS, the INSURANCE COMPANIES & the BANKS

AND because he wanted MORE PERSONAL POWER as POTUS!!

from the damnyankee viewpoint the WBTS was ONLY about $$$$$$$$ & CONTROL. nothing more, nothing less.
