every other country in the world ended slavery peacefully, even absolutist Russia. Of all world’s leaders, only Lincoln the tyrant found it necessary to wage a most destructive war.

The bad effects of Lincoln’s tyranny resonate today.

Lincoln was forced to fight because the tyrants waged a war against him.

The secession and the Civil War started before Lincoln was inaugurated. Most people in Washington, including Lincoln, wanted a compromise.

Jefferson Davis said in February 1861 that it was too late.

I sympathize with the southerners who fought to defend their states. Many fought bravely. Many died. Many were seriously wounded.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for Jefferson Davis and the other politicians who deliberately plunged this country into a bloody and costly Civil War which ended with over half a million dead and terrible destruction and suffering.
