Well, as expected the Lincoln haters feel they do not need to address anything in this article, they are right apparently no matter what the facts are, facts that would very inconveniently sink the narrative that they are so idealistic beholden to. So blindly beholden to, that they do not even wish to criticize the benevolent South of its brutal use of slavery, for the economy of cotton, which garnered profit for, other than these genteel Southern slaver holders, the British Empire who adopted an economic policy that was based on brutal slavery throughout the world in the form of colonialism to which the world saw most strikingly in the case of India. But it always comes down to these poor slave owners' rights and their warped version of freedom... Defenders of this monstrous definition of freedom certainly do not believe in freedom for all, why would they have slaves otherwise? I can see why they would not want to ask themselves the question "Why did the British Empire defend the interests of the Southern Confederates, to the point that they orchestrated the murder of President Lincoln?"

Just a small correction. Camp X was near Oshawa, not Ottawa. I think there were a few of their alumni at my college. One former Austrian intelligence officer changed his surname to Davies. Could he have been honoring the the Confederate president? The student body was heavily into freemasonry, Morals and Dogma, and historical revisionism.

If one may be permitted a bit of a vernacular for amusement purposes, one could say there's some crazy shit right there. It makes my head spin. Much to think about. Thank you for putting this online for free.

Lincoln was owned by northern merchants. In an unconstitutional war of aggression, he invaded the Confederacy to protect the profits of his handlers. The story of his assassination is beside the point, and after his crimes. The mess that exists now is a direct consequence of his consolidation of power in the central government. The War of Northern Aggression has not ended. It went cold in 1865. It is a war of worldviews— the progressive, egalitarian, commercial, industrial, technological, urban view, against the traditional, agrarian, hierarchical worldview. The former is dehumanizing. The later values relationship, family, honor and place. Ideas Have Consequences by Richard Weaver is an introduction.

Mike writes in his first reply - War is evil. That is one reason Lincoln is evil. He started an unconstitutional war of aggression against people who did not desire war, but desired self government rather than the overbearing, unfair tax policy, and the obnoxious centralizing of the US government. Are you opposed to self determination for people? The south simply reimplemented the Declaration of Independence. Do you find the Declaration repugnant?

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is a fine essence of the Declaration of Independence. - The declaration of independence is not the subject of the article though.

Actually a few powerful people of the south and others implemented their confederate constitution on the states that signed up (many under duress to sign). Their constitution was the same as the US Constitution with a couple adjustments that are not in the spirit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for everyone - nature and humanity.

The confederate constitution mandated all states and new states to be added would be Slave states. That no confederate state could prevent slave from being transfered across state lines. And that no state could succeed from the confederacy.

That is not self determination by any stretch of the imagination. Not even if women, slaves and other non-citizens are excluded from consideration - which is an abysmal way of thinking...

In no way can the confederate constitution be considered a simple reimplementation of the Declaration of Independence.
