600,000+ dead.
10th Amendment de facto repealed.
A centralized, oppressive federal government.
A marxist president trying to turn America into a European socialist state.
That’s Lincoln’s legacy.
One can also make the argument that Lincoln did a number of things which were unconstitutional. I can respect that argument.
But one can't make a valid argument on a site called "Free Republic" that slavery is acceptable or that its continuance should have been tolerated.

Yet the legacy of the Confederates was to start the death and rebellion against the United States in order to preserve ‘slavery economics’ and not freedom.
The Confederates not only wanted to repeal the 10th Amendment but they wanted to repeal the entire Constitution.
The Confederate democrats championed slavery and fought long after to preserve their campaign of hatred for capitalism and freedom.
The Confederate democrats supported the rise of the Progressive democrats and fought against freedom for years and years to come. They also continually waged a poitical war against the Constitution that wanted to secede from so long ago.
From the Confederate democrats to today’s Progressive democrats the legacy of your party has always been the same.
Rebellion, ‘Slavery economics’, and a complete lack of morality. This is the legacy of the Confederate democrats. That lead to Wilson and the Progressive democrats.
The Confederate democrats tried to secede fro the Constitution and then Wilson, the Progressive democrat who had the support of Confederates, was the first President to denounce the ideology of the Framers.
