Lincoln is an example of perfect following of the Constitution

Compensating those Democrat slave owners would have been a far better choice, versus 850,000 dead Americans and half the nation destroyed and then, a century of terrible racism. Don’t you think?

If the South hadn’t panicked over the election of Lincoln, I think that is what would have happened.
It would have happened gradually with slaves being allowed to buy their emancipation and funds used to pay for others.
The South would have become like South being like South Africa
 
Your selective outrage at the killing of innocents

Like the Palestinian Christians in GAZA?
Not sure what you are saying. I'm only asking you to clarify your post. I don't usually form an opinion or make assumptions until after I understand what people believe and why they believe it. No need to jump to conclusions or make assumptions when they can explain it to me, right?
 
Poor baby 🍼
45 presidential seals Trump.webp
 
It was all bullshit, of course. It had to be done by a Constitutional Amendment, but Lincoln did attempt to take their property with no form of due process.
War powers. After the war was over he made Congress formalize it. They were happy to leave it at the EP, but he said, no. Those powers only existed under war. Now that the war is over, you have to change it.

So, not a tyrant at all. A very great and wise man.

Statist BS
 
Let's consider one conspicuous example of Lincoln's respect for the Constitution:

The Fifth Amendment states, "No person shall...be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law..."

AND YET, President Lincoln purported to deprive the slave-owners of the Confederacy of their human chattel property by a simple Presidential declaration.

It was all bullshit, of course. It had to be done by a Constitutional Amendment, but Lincoln did attempt to take their property with no form of due process.
Those slaves were deprived of their liberty. So Lincoln was acting constitutionally.
