Lincoln blatantly disregarded the Supreme Court's decision that only Congress, not the President, can suspend habeas corpus. Lincoln, often regarded as one of our greatest Presidents, also established what was essentially martial law throughout all this. This just shows that he was far from the righteous saint that he is often made out to be.
Umm, he freed 3 million fucking people from slavery dude. How is that not saint like? Oh that's right, you don't view blacks as people.
All of the northern states had already signed bills to abolish slavery immediately or over a period of time. They also weren't seceding or rebelling so there was no need. And congress passed it 30 days later anyways when they were in session.The infamous emancipation proclamation excluded several slave-owning locales, including the northern slave states, such as Maryland.
The fact that this flag is starting to become popular just means that the general American public is completely out of touch. Much like yourself.Very interesting Wiki article: Modern display of the Confederate flag. Lots of history discussed.
