Says you...that was not a very peaceful transition of power. You know, considering about half the nation left the Union on a war footing because of it. what an odd argument you are pursuing... do I sense a Confederate Apologist hiding in there?Until it wasn't, very shortly thereafter. And we don't have to guess that it was because Lincoln was elected. They said so.A whole month... not a very peaceful transition, if you ask me. Yes, the inauguration itself came off smoothly. But those were some rough waters.What did the Civil War have to do with a peaceful transition of power?
That occurred in 1860, when Lincoln was elected, without armed conflict and ended when Lincoln assumed office in 1861. The war did not start until over a month after Lincoln was already in office.
It still doesn't require an exception like you tried to apply. It was a peaceful transition of power. The Constitution was upheld.
Why don't you just give up and admit your claim was wrong? It was a poor attempt to disguise your lack of historical knowledge.
No. That statement is just as ignorant as all of the others you have made,
The odd argument I am pursuing was brought about by your attempt to carve out the Civil War as an exception to rule by the Constitution. There was a peaceful transition of power exactly as prescribed by the Constitution.
If you can't see that, perhaps you should seek recompense from your educational institution.
