You have a strange concept of what is and is not evil. Lincoln was an evil thug who declared war on the Confederacy during his inaugural address. Self-defense is not an evil cause, except in the playbook of the thug.
Mr. Kalamata
Would think that the perpetual enslavement of 3.5 million people as one of your Constitutional requirements would be considered evil by some.
Like making up your own history,don’t you?
"In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it." - Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln was right. The South could not have a war without starting one. Which they did.
