DiogenesLamp: "The civil war was about might making right.
Not about objective right."

Confederates clearly believed they had both the right and might to win a war against the United States.
Turned out they were wrong about both.

You do have a seeming need to justify what Lincoln did by pointing fingers at the Confederates. Why cannot his actions be evaluated on their own basis without having to interject "they were just as bad" in order to make Lincoln's actions seem respectable?

Hiding behind the Confederates is just a way for you to dodge the truth. Lincoln behaved like a tyrant.

LOL. Nobody in the South even considered taking over occupying the North by force, that thought is laughable.
