Complete crap. Washington's Farewell address was directed at potential secession. Read it sometime. He would have sent troops just as fast as Abe but any opposition would have collapsed at the word he was in the field.

Such falsehoods are indicative of the depths of desperation to which the defenders of Slaverocracy will stoop.

You need to wake up from your Yankee dreamworld.
Washington was a slaveowner and a Southerner, and a VIRGINIAN. He would have never made war on his own people.

Wow, that's a leap. To equate support for the right to secede to promtoting slavery is asinine and ignorant.

When New England threatened to secede in the early part of the 19th century, was that in defense of slavery?

When several states - Virginia and Texas among them - reserved the right to secede, you think they did it because of slavery, and not because they were wary of a massive federal government?

Let us not forget that during the Nullification Crisis, South Carolina-born President Andrew Jackson threatened to hang rebels from his native state. Yet neo-Confederates complain about Lincoln!
