Nice post. Somewhere between then and 1861,,Lincoln must have forgotten, or changed his mind. Either way, he was not a man that would live up to his word. Except to attack and invade the South.

Somewhere between then and 1861,,Lincoln must have forgotten, or changed his mind.

"The framers of our Constitution never exhausted so much labor, wisdom and forebearance in its formation, and surrounded it with so many guards and securities, if it was to be broken by every member of the Confederacy at will. It was intended for 'perpetual union' so expressed in the preamble, and for the establishment of a government, not a compact, which can only be dissolved by revolution, or the consent of all the people in convention assembled. It is idle to talk of secession." - Robert Lee, January 1861

Lot of that going around.
