How? I've listened to you lost causers claim that for years now. How exactly did Lincoln murder the Republic?
It would perhaps be better to describe Mr. Lincoln as an accessory after the fact. The anti-Federalists were right after all. A. Hamilton was Lincoln's political progenitor.
Professors Thomas DiLorenzo and Walter Williams seem to have a handle on it. Have you read Lysander Spooner? Why exactly did New England States ponder secession so seriously?
