You blame it all on Lincoln and I'm the fool.
Yes on the latter count.
You ARE the fool and Lincoln DID break constitutional law right and left to have his own way.
The War of Northern Aggression was waged to subjugate the south and deny the States their Rights to govern themselves as was the intent and purpose of the Constitution. It established the FED as supreme master in all things far beyond those LIMITED items mentioned in the Constitution.
Slavery was but one issue and was chosen by Lincoln as a way to destroy the economy of the south.
Shut your mouth and do some REAL research instead of listening to and absorbing all of the Liberal Crapola you are fed and eventually, you may wake up one morning and see the light of day.
