How does Lincoln become "out of touch with the people" by defending the Union when illegally attacked?

There is no moral equivalency here.

since lincoln, the TYRANT & EGOMANIAC, was AMORAL & cared nothing about anything except POWER & $$$$$$$$, your question is DUMB & pointLESS.

face it, "JSU&TI", NOBODY on FR believes you any more. it's been a long time since i did anything but laugh AT you & i am not alone. you are simply a constant "source of MIRTH" to the intelligent & knowledgeable people here.

I'm not sure of your background on the topic of the Civil War (no, I'm not being pretentious and saying you need to have a degree or anything stupid like that), but you are aware that this was the most unpopular war in this nation's history, yes? That New Yorkers rioted and burned a black orphanage and killed children? That less than 6% of those drafted in the North even served because they chose to hide out. That Lincoln had to lock up the editors of major northern newspapers and excommunicate members of Congress. Does that mean anything to you?
