Lincoln wanted to preserve the Union. The two sides had different takes on one issue - slavery. Lincoln saw slavery as a great moral wrong that would destroy the country - - a moral issue worth fighting for... Lincoln was right. The country 'could not continue to exist, half-slave and half free.'

That's not the case today.

Today we have a thousand differences that go to the core of who we are... a ‘hot war’ would be insane. It's be like dying over which ice cream flavor was best - chocolate or strawberry...

Totalitarians and free people can't compromise. It's not possible.

The best choice is to peacefully divide the country. Pass a 'divide the country' amendment and let each legislature in every state vote on it...

Thanks for your reply. You are correct of course, but it will NOT happen.
