The Latest New York Times Nonsense About Lincoln

- Tom DiLorenzo -

John O.

Lincoln thought, with good reason, that he acted within his authority to prevent sucession. The revolutionary Articles of Confederation (the 1st Constitution), signed by all the States, spoke of a "perpetual union," and the subsequent 2nd Constitution used the words "a more perfect union." Additionally, the Preamble to the later speaks of protecting the "domestic tranquility." Granted the Declaration of Independence allowed for the use of force by citizens to overthrow a government that violates inherent rights -- but this was not the case for the South. It was the South that initiated violence. As well the Preamble speaks of preserving the union for future generations -- another echo of the Articles' "perpetual."

Lincoln, in his own words, was reconciled to the status quo created by the Missiouri Compromise in 1820. It was Douglas and the Southern Democrats that pushed passage of the Kansas-Nebraska act in 1854 that negated that compromise. That's what stirred Lincoln from his "dogmatic slumber" and to challenge Douglas for the Senate in that year.

Having been legally elected President, Lincoln took the following Oath of Office: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

And that he did.

Thanks for the civil debate.
