Your last quotation attempting to equate the lunatic traitors of 1861 with the real patriots of 1776 merely shows the vacuousness of any attempt to defend the DemocRAT Insurrection. There was no government constitutionally empowered to govern the Colonists of 1776 there was one to do just that in 1861. That Constitution and the Union it established were attacked by the DemocRAT Insurrection. Arbitrary pronouncements of the Royal Will were attacked in 1776. Huge difference.

By tearing itself into three parts the DemocRAT party 1860 allowed Lincoln to win then concocted a phony "tyranny" and launched its insane rebellion attempting to avoid the consequences of its political folly. Having barely taken office, Lincoln did nothing to provoke them nor would he have interfered unconstitutionally with the Slavers only REAL concern, slavery.

Washington and Lincoln were the greatest presidents the nation ever had. Both had to address the lunacy of secession and Washington did just that in the Farewell Address.

DemocRAT power has always relied upon the big city machines (and for the same reasons) and corrupt political organizations pretending a Populist concern outside the cities. Aaron Burr and George Clinton would be just as at home in the DemocRAT party of today as they were in 1800 so would most of the others who are DemocRATS. "Policies" have always mattered less than tactics and strategies to attain power to that party.
