He was talking about state rights. Which is part of the discussion of the Civil War.
No he's not. He's talking about "any people, any time" Have you read the speech, or did you just cherry pick that quote from some Rockwell/DiLorenzo crap? Lincoln is talking about Texas' natural right to revolt against Mexico. As Texas was not a state at the time, it could hardly be a discussion of states' rights under the constitution.
I'm still looking for the part where he praises Lincoln like you said he did.
Why did you say he did, when he didn't?
I'll take a guess. Like the left you won't allow truth and historical accuracy to get in the way of you moonbat ideology so you'll say anything that's convienent for the moment. And when you're shown to be wrong, you just "Moveon" (c) and make up some new "facts".
Lots of us around here don't play that game.
