I dislike lincoln and am not racist

Best: Jackson or Jefferson
Worst: Obama

"If you don't agree with me you're racist"

Ok libtard

I dont hate the emacipation proclimation but he had some other bad ideas

Furthermore, Andrew Jackson refused to enforce Georgia vs. Cherokee Nation, which caused the trail of tears due to his Indian Removal Act of 1830

Good!

It's good that he refused to do his job?

someone woke up on the condescending side of the bed.

He is good because
1: he was a problem solver
2: he understood better than maybe any other president what it took for a republic to function.
3: The dude was objectively a badass

He was literally so bad, an opposition party formed

Lol

Most point to him as the end of the Era of Good Feelings

That happens a lot

Does it actually?

I mean really, how many times in history does that happen?

If it's not a new party it's the other party

Right, but rarely does a *new* party form against him

My point is that we have such a string divide in our politics that anyone could look back and call nearly any president terrible because people opposed him.

Thats beyond opposition

An entirely new country formed because of lincoln

Does that make him bad?

I would argue that it was because of Taylor

You could argue a lot

He refused to handle the situation properly during the lame duck period

As to whys secession was a consideration

I know why, Its the jews.

However lincoln being elected is what triggered secession

Right, but Taylor could have done anything to stop it

And he refused to

That's indirect

Furthermore, it's still hotly debated if states have the actual right to leave the union- all we can say for sure is that they entered a state of rebellion

States do not have the right to leave the union.

That's a separate issue

I think the precedent for that was very clearly set.

Many countries explicitly state in their constitutions it is illegal to secede.

I would tend to agree

Otherwise it's an unwritten rule and in America's case there is a precedent for it.

There is no clearly defined law about secession

And?

America's legal system is common law.
