Should a free people have the right to peacefully separate from a government?
Indeed they should.
But, I'm still glad that the North won, and I would have fought on the Union side. Abolition alone would be a worthy cause worth dying for.
"But Lincoln weren't an Abolitionist." folks will doubtless chime in... hey, tell that to the South in 1860.... and he sure as heck became one as soon as he was realistically able.
