After reading this book (as a military veteran and
northerner) it would seem that no one can conclude other than that Lincoln
intentionally started the War. How many realize that armistices existed with
South Carolina (December 6th, 1860 involving Ft Sumter) and Florida (January
29th, 1861 involving Ft Pickens)? To violate any part of the terms of an
armistice means that a state of war exists. Lincoln apparently violated both
before Ft Sumter was fired upon by the South but this has been covered up by
court and gatekeeper historians. It was asserted unequivocally, that the
election of 1860 empowered Lincoln’s ‘party’ to enforce their political
theories on the country, regardless of the Constitution, the laws, the rights
of the States, or the decisions of the Supreme Court; and that Lincoln would do
so.
However,
five days before Lincoln was inaugurated Congress passed a Resolution
pronouncing the practice of pushing political theories using “legalized” force
exercised by the Federal Government (as promulgated by Sam Chase and several
Northern States), to be violations of the Constitution. The new Congress
(elected Nov 1860) was more favorable to the Constitution being upheld than the
outgoing Congress. Knowing this Lincoln ordered an army of 75,000 men to be
organized and equipped without Congress’s approval and prevented Congress from
convening until July 1861 when War was assured. Read Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address.
He cared much more about His tariff that supported the Federal Government (paid
about 80% by the South) than anything WRT slavery (see Robert DiLorenzo’s books
among others on this).
This book is an important addition to
inclusive history providing information most people have not been exposed to as
the historical myths pressed upon the American people by big government elités
and a biased academia continue to be exposed.
