South were corrupt too

When the majority of sitting members are in the same party as him? Yeah they'll be adamant on a witchhunt lmao

Then why even complain?

Because it's fucking unconstitutional

Like I said this is a moral argument for you

It was decided to be constitutional

Legally

Lincoln had no right to declare war on states or block their trade routes.

Somebody explain to me how the violation of speech and personal freedom is constitutional

He didnt at the time

I don’t want to pile on and make this three on one but Lincoln’s administration was objectively the most harmful and despotic in American history

He wasn’t necessarily an evil man but he was cucked by his evil cabinet members, particularly the secretary of war

I didnt say it wasnt

I said that in the end they won and upheld everything

But you think that makes it ok

Thats a moral question

Because they were in power and could do so, doesn’t make it constitutional.

Legally they did

There is absolutely no legal recourse

That doesn't mean it can't be answered lol

No it doesnt

But it makes bitching about it worthless

By that logic we can never bitch about the mass genocides under communism or the genocide in south africa

I'll say it again, Roosevelt arrested and relocated Japanese for their race, which is unconstitutional. By your logic, not morality, it's ok.

Legally

False equivalence

I can't equate laws that violate rights to laws that violate rights?

Not you jack

I think your argument is that history is written by the victor and it’s impossible to change the past, and I agree.

Basically

I just don’t understand such adamant opposition to talking about the North’s crimes so we never have such a breach of the constitution again

Because Boots eqates that to Republicans or Yankees now being evil

Its a silly argument

Especially when Obama was the last person to do it

We can't learn from our mistakes because Abe and the North were perfect and the South were just hicks

I didnt say that

I said then doesnt affect now

Unless Trump is doing it and you are protesting that

You're whole point regarding Abe's actions were that what he did was constitutional

Well Obama did it too so...

Yeah it made it constitutional
