That was a good post.
I would like to add that I think the Civil War did ultimately bring about the destruction of federalism in America but certainly not the destruction of America. I’m not blaming Lincoln because the Union needed to be preserved and he did what he had to to keep it together.
It makes for interesting conversation and debate but even as a hard-core Southerner I would have to say, “No, Lincoln did far more good than harm.” All people deserve to be free and we all know that freedom tends to come at a high price.
Good post. I agree.
