The record showed he didn't want war and bent over backwards to prevent it, going so far as giving the Chritenden plan serious plan. Thankfully, it died with Sumpter.

Lincoln wanted to avoid war and to preserve the Union. The traitorous fools of the 'confederacy' wanted war, and they got a small portion of what they deserved for their arrogance and evil.

bad general. Left almost 40% of his soldiers in most of his berserker battles. And why he went to Gettysburg is a mystery
Good educator though.
Seriously, you believe that? With how long and far the South went with the mass of people, money and industry in the north?
No question he screwed the pooch at Gettysburg.
I don't necessarily agree with that. He was outmanned and outgunned. If it didn't work to take the war to the North, the South was going to lose eventually for sure. He had limited options.
In bridge, if you can't calculate how you can make your contract for certain, you fall back to what would have to happen to make your contract. Say if you are North and you figure East has to have the ace of hearts you can make the contract. If West has the ace of hearts and you are set, that doesn't mean you miscalculated, it means the only shot you had failed.
So is Cheney.Lee is lucky he wasn't hung as a traitor.

The Southern States wanted States' Rights ... not war.
It's racist to celebrate anyone who fought for slavery.

I knew it was only a matter of time until the virulent anti-confederate haters chimed in.
You were expecting a large pro-slavery-defending-traitors contingent? Most Americans are glad we are one nation, under God.
How is it one nation when we are forced to remain?
Pack your bags. You are free to go any time.

The southern states wanted war long before Lincoln ever stepped into office.
There would have been war no matter what happened with Lincoln's election. His base electoral pledge was no slavery in the territories. The south saw the writing on the wall. They were going to go in November. The first succession was SC in december, I believe Dec 4Please be a little more detailed.
