Lincoln was a Tyrant and a Atheist who used just enough phrases from the Bible to sound Christian. The South did not start a Insurrection against the Federal government but instead tried to leave the US and they started their own government!

Lincoln was the Poster Child for Adolf Hitler. The Nazi’s studied Lincoln’s war against the South to learn how to overthrow a government yet seemingly keeping the people from knowing they were destroying their own government.

Show me one instance were a Southerner tried to take over the US government! You can’t because it never happened!

The deaths of nearly 750,000 people and the dislocation of nearly 500,000 more rest solely on Lincoln’s head! He may not of killed as many people as Hitler but his war plans were the blueprint that Hitler used in Germany and against other countries.

This day in History, April 9, 1865

http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2012/04/this-day-in-history-april-9-1865.html[snip]General

[snip]Robert E. Lee surrendered to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant April 9, 1865, but that was not the end of the Civil War. Other factions were not ready to give up the fight.

The Southern Cherokee, who fought for their own independence along side the Confederacy, in fact, never ‘surrendered’. On June 23, 1865, Brigadier General Stand Watie and the remnants of the Cherokee Mounted Braves formally ceased hostilities at Doaksville at Fort Towson near The Red River in the Choctaw Nation. Nearly sixty years old, he was the last general to lay down arms in the Civil War, two months after Lee surrendered to Grant.

Southron Patriot: "The South did not start a Insurrection against the Federal government but instead tried to leave the US and they started their own government!"

In historical fact, secessionists began simultaneously committing many unlawful acts of rebellion and war against the United States, some even before formally declaring their secession.

These acts of insurrection included seizures by force of many Federal properties -- i.e., forts, armories, customs houses, ships and a mint -- threats of violence against Federal personnel, and the firing-on and seizure of the Federal Fort Sumter.

And in the end, not a single Confederate soldier was killed by any Union force until after the Confederacy formally declared war on the United States, on May 6, 1861.

So the charges against "Lincoln the Tyrant" are false.

Wrong on the law. Texas v. White held that the pretended confederacy never existed. That case is still good law, and binding precedent on courts.

Sam Houston, the governor of Texas was removed from his post as governor of one of the United States by the insurrection.
