All amendments do change the Constitution, as you would realize if you stopped and thought about it.
His Amendment DID do what they said it did.
"His Amendment" wasn't passed out of Congress and sent to the states until 14 months after Lincoln had died. How was it his?
But the fact is, I DO know...and Lincoln was the Great Instigator.
You know I've heard you southron types blame Lincoln for everything from international Communism to a rainy day. But blaming Lincoln for illegal immigration is definitely a new one.
Oh, believe me, I have thought about it. Unlike the 14th Amendment, the others do not change our government from a Republic to a democracy.

Because it was his war that resulted in the Amendment.

Obviously you are so busy defending him you have not heard what I said.
I did not 'blame' him for illegal immigration. I was showing you how and why (thanks to Lincoln) illegal immigrants are now SUPERIOR in the eyes of the *law* to a citizen of the United States.

I'm sorry to have wasted your time trying to explain to you where your Freedoms went.
Good day to you, sir.
