I haven't seen such drumbeat and wouldn't condone it. What master plan? I've not seen such posts.

You must not read enough of these threads. How often have I read that the was all about oppressing the south? That Lincoln maneuvered the south into firing at Sumter to that he could grab power? Here, in post #111 of this thread, is a typical example: "It was a war of envy, a war to increase federal power (which had it's roots in Jacksonianism) and a war to protect northern industry at the expense of Southern industy."

Then, of course, there's Watie's frequent allusion to the Union soldiers as "the filth that flowed from the north"
