The President that ordered the assassination of President Davis, his cabinet and the populace of Richmond, VA. A northern congress that recognized the Confederate states as states when they ratified an amendment to end slavery, yet declare them non-states and invade them by military force when those same states refuse to ratify the 14th amendment. Then subjected to years of military occupation and destruction. That's NOT republican govenment - that's tyranny!
