DiogenesLamp: "Calling secession "rebellion" was how Lincoln launched his war."

More fake-news.
Lincoln never called secession "rebellion".
He did call rebellion "rebellion", and when Confederates formally declared war on the United States, May 6, 1861, all doubts about it were erased.

DiogenesLamp: "Money was the reason why he launched the war."

According to DiogenesLamp and nobody else, least of all Lincoln himself.

[DiogenesLamp]

Lincoln never called secession "rebellion".

It is exactly what he did. He couldn't let them go, so he deliberately conflated their democratic secession with "Rebellion" because using the word "Rebellion" was the only means by which he could get his hands on the power necessary to stop them.

According to DiogenesLamp and nobody else, least of all Lincoln himself.
