In his first inagural address, President Lincoln agreed to support a constitutional amendment to protect the domestic institutions of the states, and he agreed not to send obnoxious officials into the south. In point of fact, President Lincoln bent over backwards to avoid the war. Insurgent forces had fired on Old Glory well before he took office. Yours is just another attempt to flip an inconvertable fact of history into something else entirely.
