Re: Suggested Reading on Lincoln

But, that is just the point. By what measure do we assign "Greatness"? Lincoln is held up to history as being one of America's greatest Presidents. But in my opinion everything he did was against the precepts of a Constitutional Republic.

A centralized Government, for whatever good it may bring, was NOT the intent of the founders of this country, nor that of the framers of our Constitution. They did not want to be ruled by "Lords and Kings" in high office. So is greatness measured by the amount of destruction that is done to our Constitution? Isn't the destruction of our Constitution therefore Treason? Should the people have the right to sieze control of our Government from such persons?
