Sorry but I think Lincoln was wrong. He should have let the southern states secede. I mean, the hypocrisy is off the charts. Just decades ago the Declaration of Independence stated in clear terms the right of the people to withdraw from a government that they feel no longer represents them. And then we attack the South for 4 bloody years because they wanted to leave? Doesn't seem right.
