I don’t think we are debating the Civil War, the statement is that Lincoln killed the Constitution and uses the Gettysburg address as the an example. There is no debate, this is just stupidity masquerading as insight.

Lincoln supercharged the Constitution applying powers where none existed. The USC is totally silent on secession. The Goon usurped states rights to the point that they are now secondary to federal law which is bass awkward to original intent. But arguing original intent to a Lincoln Lover is like arguing the merits of the death penalty with the hangman.
