I'd loved to have placed all the Lincoln-haters in chains, and see then what they'd have thought about a man who liberated them. It's easy to yammer about states rights when you were not a slave.

President Lincoln wanted all men, everywhere, to be free.

That rankles the neo-rebs.

"President Lincoln wanted all men, everywhere, to be free."

Is that why he invaded the South?

"All men?" Except, of course, those Americans who opposed his unconstitutional policies. Tell us again, friend Walt, about your opinion of Mr. Lincoln's suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, by which means he imprisoned many "men, everywhere," without benefit of trial. Perhaps you have forgotten Mr. Chief Justice Marshall's opinion on the suspension of the writ, or that of Mr. Justice Story, or that of Mr. Chief Justice Taney. Shall I refresh your memory?

Enjoy!
