Lincoln did not start the war. The rebs did. The secessionists were nothing more than glorified outlaws.
Which of the non-seceded states did “the rebs” attack first?
I suppose that is one perspective. Another is that the Southern States did not appreciate the selective meddling in their affairs by the Fed, no matter how justified such meddling may have been.
Of course slavery was cuckoo...but tell that to Lincoln, who did very little to abolish it 100%. He only selectively applied the Emancipation Proclomation, exempting the non-rebellious slaves states and certain non-rebellious parishes of Louisiana.
As wrong as the South was for relying so heavily on something as wretched as slavery, they were troubled by the heavy hand of the Fed.
That is a bogus, political leftist-liberal-revisionist view of the South, as the South had more dignified statesmen and military leaders than the North ever had!!! They were anything BUT glorified outlaws!!!
The more I see how Obooombi socialist-fascist-communist usurper is taking down our nation day by day, the more I kind of wish the "secessionists" had prevailed 150 yrs ago or so.
We may end with our own version of "secession" if Obooombi continues to destroy & decimate our formerly great USA (or as Oboooombi thinks of it as the USSA)
