As such, those actions were properly deemed an insurrection by President Lincoln. The collection of Southern States, those that enforced slavery upon human beings, was in fact a cabal of criminals and ought to have been cleansed long before 1860.

No amount of verbiage by DiLorenzo can cover such willful blindness. One cannot argue for the individual rights of a state or group of states when those states are themselves trampling on individual rights -- slavery.
