[Non-Sequitur]

Ah you must be referring to the letters from Lincoln to Gustavus Fox. Well I have read them and I don't see the same sinister motive that you seem to. In fact you seem to be falling into that sothron crybaby habit of blaming everything on the north. You all want the world to believe that you were tricked into firing on Sumter which, if true, would have been a remarkable stupid thing for the south to fall for and hardly something to brag about. Yet you do. Go figure.

I am not a pretender that the south was as lily white as the North has always claimed to be.

But I know for a fact that the North was wrong for going to war with the south over secession, Lincoln ignored the constitution, and agreed to the wholesale slaughter of thousands for federal power. Lincoln is the reason that we have the federal government we have now, IT IS HIS FAULT!!

And if you fail to agree with that, then you are deluding yourself.
