Here are the portraits of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and 1865. He aged a lot in 5 years.

Cougar-Duck Mexico will pay for it.

Literate? Yep, guilty.

Care to expound?

Lots of reasons. In short, he trampled on the Constitution.

Let me clarify:

Interesting, he is widely considered the Best President Ever

2FarGone

Maybe in modern society, but at the time he was hated in the south

Jericho

You have to take all of his statements in context.

8-track

9/6/19 5:17pm

I do, but people who often suggest he is one of the greatest presidents

Jericho

I have a pretty good understanding of his life.

I think he second only to George Washington

Washington, Coolidge, Monroe are my top 3

Let me guess... “..states rights...”

The United States Constitution.

Let's hear what enumerated provisions he violated. Let me guess....right of

Oh my goodness, W did not do worse than Lincoln. Wow.

Brutus216

9/6/19 5:38pm

W was horrible, but Abe did more long term damage to the Constitution.

In the end, let me make this simple:

Good questions and here's my answer:

Wait, who fired the first shots of the war and left the country because

This debate has put me in a mood. So let's examine if the south had any right...

ironman1315

9/6/19 10:37pm

That wasn't the "prevailing legal thinking".

HighHorse

9/6/19 10:44pm

I'm sorry, it is that simple

8-track

9/6/19 11:00pm

Okay, tell me, what legal theory was the US operating under at the time

ironman1315

9/6/19 11:03pm

I don't even know what to say. Honestly.

Haha, GWB sucked... Can't they both suck?

So he should have let the country die

That’s like saying an abusive husband

Brutus216

9/6/19 5:29pm

Um, no, that's not at all similar. But let's just pretend that it is.

Incorrect.

Brutus216

9/6/19 5:49pm

This is an easy game. I can play too: “correct”

8-track

9/6/19 5:58pm

Um, yes it is similar, actually

foosman

No. The abusive husband to wife scenario is nowhere close to the civil war.

2 parties? It wasn't the north and the south that formed the US. It was states..

Or, Two large, parties enter voluntarily into a union...

Body vs. Marriage - the analogy isn't all that important. Both are flawed
