Lincoln himself admits his actions were unconstitutional in the quote you posted. All tyrants claim necessity as the basis for their actions.

Pointing out President Davis’ faults and shortcomings does not erase the fact that Lincoln was a dictator who destroyed the union. I can see why you are a Clinton and Lincoln fan. In your mind, wrong is only wrong when done by someone you disagree with.

President Davis did plenty of things I find fault with. I don’t excuse him just because he was fighting a dictator who was destroying the union and subjugating the states. His actions were wrong even though done for a good cause.

Reputable historians like Rossiter, Rhodes, and Randall recognize that Lincoln was a dictator, but the excuse him and apologize for him because they agree with his goal. You simply deny his sins and claim that because someone else did wrong it somehow justifies Lincoln.

You support a dictator who trashed the constitution and destroyed the union. Spin cannot erase the facts and the facts show Lincoln to be a dictator and a tyrant.

"Destroyed the Union"? Then why did most of the Confederacy concoct their secession ordinances even before the "tyrant" took office?

A dictator and tyrant who insisted that the elections be held as required by law.
