""This country belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it." --Abraham Lincoln"

If this wasn't such BS and tragic, those words would be funny coming from his mouth. He did his part to make sure that even a peaceful withdrawal couldn't happen.

Pretty ironic isn't it ??

Obviously Lincoln didn't practice what he preached.

America would be a better place today if he truly believed and adhered to his stated ideology.

After a brief period of separation, I believe the U.S. would've reunited ultimately - but adhering to a federal framework closer to what our forefathers specified in the Constitution.
