Actually, you should admit that you haven't studied history. If you had, you would know a little about the issues leading up to secession. Your ignorance of Lincoln's actions during the war is appalling, as is your mindless support for his lack of regard for the Constitution as the supreme law of the land.
Historical knowledge is second nature to me having studied it extensively and intensively for decades. However, it requires almost no knowledge to refute the stream of misrepresentations and lies which stream from the keyboards of the Defenders of Slaveocracy. What passes for historical knowledge among yawl is a mismash of amateurish pseudo-history which fits the mythology you wish to promote to reality. Give it up it makes FR look very bad. Why not defend the Flat Earth Theory of the shape of the Earth, that at least is plausible on its face?
