Lincoln and the right of seccession
A great piece by Walter Williams discussing a book on President Lincoln. The article, The Real Lincoln, discusses how the Founder's believed it was within the rights of the states to secede from the Union. He is right to point out that the actions of Lincoln allowed federal power to switch it's role and subjucate the states. This was not the intent of the Constitution.
