That is one of my questions. I’ll have to look it up.....the Constitution that is. Lincoln was addressing a war, not a civil disturbance. Yes, during a war, the Guard can be pulled into the control of the Army....as we see today.
We need a Constitutional lawyer here on this one. I think it is one question that should be answered for the people. Not that we could do anything about it if HumVees rolled up to our front doors.
So what, exactly, is the difference?
According to King George III, our Revolution was a civil disurbance. In fact MOST rebellions start out as civil disturbances.
We wer discussing the use of U.S. Army troops against U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. Since Linoln NEVER recognized the southern states' right to secede, then as far as he was concerned, he was using U.S. Army troops against U.S. citizens (albeit in "rebellion') on U.S. soil.
