>What Americans Used To Know  - Tom DiLorenzo - lewRockwell
DiLorenzo is of that warped mindset that believed the South had a right to secede from the Union -- somehow believing that Jefferson's Declaration of Independence applied that stated ''whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government . . .."'

The problem is that, in the case of the North, that was no such destruction of rights that warranted the violent actions of the South -- their initiation of violence at Fort Sumter. 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. It was the Southern greed for the expansion of its slave system to newly formed states (Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 pushed by Democrat Stephen Douglas and President Buchannan) and the moral integrity and determination of the North and the newly formed Republican Party to stop it that lit the fuse for the coming conflict.

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.
