Lincoln was not the great emancipator the history books made him out to be, he is a total myth.

he was more than willing to let the south keep their slaves if they would surrender.

he was deterimined to kill every man, woman, and child in the south to prove a point, the tenth amendment gives the states rights, that is why the north did not try Jefferson davis after the war.

the south was right in their legal argument, the states make the government, they entered the union voluntary, and the constitution gives them the right to secede from it.

the war was about states rights, and Abraham [the butcher] Lincoln was all a big myth.

I hope I live to see the day when history rethinks Lincoln.
