Yep, I am not a Lincoln fan either. I believe everything Lincoln and his government did was illegal. And it was that same power hungry bunch that would have been hung for war atrocities had the South won that committed near genocide on the American Indian and to this day continues that foreign powerhungry, nosy, intrusive,busybody policy. He completely destroyed what the founding fathers had set up and fought for. Most Southerners, and you can read it in many of their writings and books, felt they were fighting for the same things and rights that their grandfathers had fought for during the Rev War.

I am a firm believer in States Rights, local self government without a bunch of yea-hoos way off somewhere trying to tell you what to do or how to live or what you should practice or believe in and in the right of a State and its people to suceed, etc.. That was promised us in the Declaration of Independence.
