Pure Hogwash!

Indeed. For years I have been around Southern partisans. I have been around people who advocate secession today, I have been around Nathan Bedford Forrest fanatics, I have been around Confederate reenactors of every stripe. I've been around them around campfires when no one else is around, in SCV meetings, and in political conversation. Never have I met any of them who have ever advocated, favored, or thought wistfully about slavery, or for that matter segregation. I am sure they exist, as they do in everyday life, but I have not stumbled upon them in my time.

Lincoln's crime was in not recognizing the union as a voluntary association of states, and in preserving it by force.
