Land of Lincoln

"It's well known that the more a man speaks, the less he's understood."
--Abraham Lincoln (The Blue and the Gray)

Very interesting questions raised about the Lincoln presidency. I've peripherally encountered arguments in the past that the primary cause of the Civil War was the South's pushback against Lincoln's nationalist economic program. Southern firms were getting eviscerated by government tariffs placed on trade with others. Succession was merely Southern states' trump card.

The Lincoln administration was also a major suppressor of Constitutional liberty during wartime.
Once again, not a perspective widely disseminated in the grade school or high school yrs.
