Like you aren’t unbiased. Lincoln trampled the Constitution,
you do remember that part right?

I see you put telling the truth about the southern traitors in the same category as murder. Tells us more about you than it does about me.

I disagree that Lincoln trampled the constitution.

In war, according to the constitution, the president has much more authority than in peacetime, and has nearly complete and legal authority over the theater of war. By their rebellion, by firing on Ft Sumter, the rebels started a war, and gave the president nearly complete authority over their states.

The militia, in war, must obey the orders of the US President as commander in chief. Each southern soldier which did not obey the presidents orders was subject to the penalty of mutiny for following the orders of the rebel leadership. It was kindness, and mercy that every southern soldier was not given a military court martial, with loyal officers on the jury, and a further kindness that every southern soldiers was not hung.

Of course if you would like to reject that kindness you could hang yourself.
