You lost me at Lincoln united. He took by force, under the guise of stopping slavery. I’m a Canadian not a southerner, but it’s evident to me it was a war of northern aggression.

We don’t need a Lincoln, we need a Washington. When offered to be a leader of a military run regime, he turned it down. There is a man of principle and valour.

But even the founding fathers, during the time when the Declaration of Independence was being put together and the revolutionary war, the issue of slavery was an issue that was NOT going to go away and was going to have to take a civil war to resolve it once and for all.

I am looking at this from a USA history perspective.

This time, if we see a new civil war, company will be parting and no re-uniting of the USA.

Consider that Washington helped to birthed the country, Lincolin helped to preserve it.
