The War to Prevent Southern Independence

Lincoln and his crony-capitalists cloaked their crime in robes of morality, and duped posterity with what Voltaire called "the propaganda of the victorious."

When Virginia's Governor Letcher received Lincoln's call for troops to subjugate the "Cotton Kingdom" and bring it back under the heel of his "Mercantile Kingdom," Letcher refused, and indicted Lincoln: "You have chosen to inaugurate civil war, and we will resist it with the same spirit you have exhibited towards the South." The next day, Virginia seceded, and three years later Mr. Lincoln's army burned down Governor Letcher's house. Emancipation? Dr. Pace says that Union, forced by the bayonet, is slavery.
