That's all right, you'll shoot your mouth off before knowing

You are even stupider than I originally thought. Put away your 7th grade
history book and shut the **** up. Lincoln was one of the biggest liars and tyrants in the history of the Presidency.

"The Gettysburg Address, the most famous speech in American history, is an absurd piece of war rhetoric and a poetry of lies. We were not ´engaged in a great Civil War, to see whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, can long endure.¡ The South was engaged in a War of Independence from a tyrannical North, and after having legally seceded, wished only ´to be let alone.¡ The North was engaged in a war of empire, to keep the South involuntarily under its yoke. Government ´of the people, by the people and for the people¡ would not have ´perished from the earth¡ had the North lost the war; on the contrary, it perished in the United States when the North won the war; for, it perished in the United States when the North won the war; for, freely representative government, by consent of the governed, is exactly what the South was fighting for and exactly what Lincolnÿs military victory destroyed. and exactly what Lincolnÿs military victory destroyed."

The attempt at secession was never legal. The United States would have
been better off had the slave states which wanted to leave made their
case for secession in Congress or in front of the Supreme Court but
they knew their most reasoned arguement came from the muzzle of a
cannon.

A few years after the war, the Supreme Court essentially ruled that no
State left the US legally and whatever they did to support the
Confederacy was illegal.

Neo-Confederates never fail to amuse. For example:

"it perished in the United States when the North won the war; for,
freely representative government, by consent of the governed, is
exactly what the South was fighting for and exactly what Lincolnÿs
military victory destroyed."

Oh! The tyranny of freeing slaves and giving them full citizenship!!
