I still want someone to answer where Lincoln got his constitutional authority to use force to preserve the Union?
Where does the Constitution say the POTUS may do that?
I was so hoping Birdwatcher would answer this for me
Do you wish the United States had divided in 1861?
Does that matter constitutionally speaking? Are you alleging that for you, like the communists, and any other lawless regime in the history of the world, that the ends justify the means?
Quit avoiding the question.
Anyhow, you forgot George Washington and the rest of Founding Fathers....
"...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them." Canasatego 1744
