Hello again pearidge. I see you are repeating your usual, tired retorts.
There most certainly was an insurrection, complete with fighting and everything. The south tried to muscle their way in order to thwart an election they didn’t like under the pretext of a secession.
It didn’t work out too well, did it?
It was working very well until Lincoln, with the permission of the Republican controlled Congress, started a war to protect the financial interests of the Northeast.
