"Love Lincoln" Propaganda For Fifth Graders  (5)
Excellent points. I would make one correction, however. You wrote "What Lincoln did with his infamous proclamation was to free slaves where he had no authority to do so and leave them in bondage where he had the authority to free them." Lincoln had no authority to free slaves anywhere except under his powers to confiscate enemy property in a time of war. Quoting himself in his first inaugural address, Lincol...

You believe secession for the first seven states could not apply because no rights had been violated. That is not for you to determine. The final determiner of those rights is the state itself. That is, the people of the state had that right. The people of the states which seceded voted in convention to do so. There was no insurrection. The Constitution prohi...
