You are right, I was wrong to say that the population requirement was spelled out in the constitution. That requirement is set by the congress. I directed that post not at you specificaly but at the "Lincoln really did not free the slaves" people. I wanted to point out that he was working towards that end ,sucessfuly, when he was killed. It's pretty hard to finish the job with a bullet in the brain.

What a waste of a good bullet.....:)

A rope would have been more appropriate!
