[quote=takoma][quote=Anonymous]I think we should ban anyone who supports the right of secession. How can you have a President who believes in that? What if Lincoln shrugged his shoulders and said "eh. to each his own"?[/quote] I realize you were not being literal about the ban, since that would require amending the Constitution, so I'll agree that advocacy of secession is prima facie evidence that someone should not be elected president. As to Lincoln's decision, though, we'll never know whether race relations would be better now if tha Confederacy had been allowed to stand and they had (presumably) given up slavery a couple of decades later. I'm certainly not advocating (in retrospect) another generation of slavery, just saying that judgment of his decision to fight secession is complex.[/quote]
