"They didn't have to rebel. ....Lincoln offered them everything in his power if they simply ceased their rebellion."

They didn't "rebel", they seceded. They believed that they had every right to do that. And nothing has ever been brought forth in unambivalent proof that they didn't, all of the phoney half-ass arguments to the contrary presented by you Union supporters not withstanding. All they wanted was their freedom, Lincoln reused to allow them that. Lincoln was responsible for the war. And if there is a hell, he deserves to burn there for it. We can be sure he wouldn't be admitted to heaven, after trying to place the blame on God.

"Union supporters"

Uh, you DO know this is 2003 and that the Civil War was over hundreds of years ago, right?
