SERIOUSLY? You mean the Ken Burns propaganda series? STOP WATCHING CRAP LIKE THAT, and read ACTUAL SOURCE DOCUMENTS. Lincoln was a freaking tyrant who turned terrorists like Sherman and Grant against the Southern people, who only wanted to be independent of the Yankee empire that had turned its back on the Constitution (still has).
Don’t be such a moron. Ken Burns isn’t 100 miles within CSpan Civil War. These are talks at civil war symposiums such as at Gettysburg College or Longwood Univ and other ground zero sources of Civil War study. Prof Allen Guelzo, Caroline Janney, Peter Carmichael, James Robertson. Many others.
Lincoln was a savior. No tyrant. Jeff Davis was a tyrant.
We have a great side by side comparison in “Crisis and Leviathan” where 160 specific points of comparison (taxes, confiscation, draft, government takeover of production) shows Lincoln’s north was VASTLY freer than the fascist Confederates.
First thing the fascist Confederates did was seize all PRIVATE GOLD.. Love it-—all the gold bugs rail against FDR when Davis was the first one to do this.
